The purpose of this course is to provide students with knowledge, insight and understanding of the requirements and practical activities associated with designing, implementing and maintaining an information security management system, aligned to the ISO 27001 Standard. This course will assist those seeking to better understand the standard and how to implement an ISMS practically within an organisation and to prepare for the ISO 27001:2013 certification for the organisation.
This course covers multiple information security terms and concepts, including documentation design, information security risk management principles and guidelines, and understanding the environment in which the organization operates, and the information security needs and expectations associated with that.
