Understanding ISO Security Standards for Your Organization

Codio via Coursera

Overview

This course is designed for novice learners wanting to understand the basics of ISO and IEC security standards. Learners will gain understanding how security standards address the challenges facing organizations, how standards provide a comprehensive approach to providing security (including personal information), and how standards help with managing risk. To allow for a self-paced learning experience, this course is video-free. Assignments contain short explanations with images. You'll benefit from instant feedback from a variety of assessment items along the way, gently progressing from quick understanding checks (multiple choice, fill in the blank, and un-scrambling blocks of text) to small, approachable summative assessments that take minutes instead of hours.
