ISO 27001 Foundation

The Knowledge Academy’s ISO 27001 Foundation training course introduces the principles and approaches of ISO 27001. The topic covered by ISO 27001 is Information Security Management. Information security is essential for the protection of confidential and potentially sensitive information; thus ISO 27001 intends to reduce the possibility of data breaches. ISO 27001 Foundation will give delegates an insight into basic ways to manage and secure valuable information, which can in turn protect business status and improve enterprise value. Delegates will also be introduced to ISMS frameworks that can be implemented to establish, preserve, and improve Information Security Management Systems.

As this is an introductory course, delegates will acquire an insight into the basic components of ISO 27001, which is useful for those looking to start a career centred around 27001. The knowledge they acquire will enable them to achieve compliance with this international standard. ISO, (the International Organisation for Standardisation), produces documents that determine specifications, requirements, and guidance to ensure that services, products, and procedures are delivered to the appropriate standard, and achieve their primary objective.

This course will cover the following modules:
