ISO 27001 Free Training – Introduction Course

Officially known as the ISO/IEC 27001 Information Security Management standard, it details the requirements for businesses to securely manage information assets and data to an internationally recognised standard. It provides a robust approach for managing assets such as customer and employee details, intellectual property, financial information and third-party data.

ISO 27001 requires that organisations assess information security risks, put in place robust security controls and processes, and embed information security management across the organisation. The standard is suitable for all organisations that collect and process data – including SME, corporate and non-profit businesses.
