ISO 27001 Awareness – Online and Classroom Training

Businesses increasingly collect, store and process information – yet less than 15% of businesses have had training or awareness sessions on cyber security within the past 12 months.

ISO 27001 details the requirements for a robust, effective Information Security Management System that meets the specifications of the internationally recognised standard. Suitable for all types and sizes of businesses that deal with sensitive and commercially valuable data, it helps organisations comply with data protection laws, reduce the risk of data breaches and build customer trust.

Businesses with ISO 27001 certification enjoy greater security for the organisation and its clients, and competitive advantages with access to ISO 27001-specific tenders.
