Description

ISO/IEC 27001 is the internationally recognised requirements standard for information security management systems. It helps organisations establish, implement, maintain and continually improve a systematic framework for managing information-security risks and preserving the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information.

The Lead Auditor course goes beyond clause awareness. It develops the ability to translate ISMS requirements, risk assessments, treatment decisions, the Statement of Applicability, legal and contractual obligations and selected controls into audit criteria; evaluate objective evidence; communicate findings; and lead an audit team through the complete audit cycle.

Who Is This Course For?

This course is suitable for professionals who audit, manage, implement or improve information security management systems, including:

  • Information security managers, officers, analysts and ISMS coordinators
  • Chief information security officers, security governance leaders and IT managers
  • Internal auditors seeking audit-team and Lead Auditor capability
  • Cybersecurity, technology-risk, enterprise-risk, compliance and governance professionals
  • ISO/IEC 27001 consultants and ISMS implementation specialists
  • Supplier, cloud-service and second-party information-security auditors
  • Privacy, data-protection, business-continuity and incident-management professionals
  • Certification-body auditor candidates preparing for a recognised training requirement

Recommended Prior Knowledge

Learners are expected to understand ISO/IEC 27001 requirements and commonly used ISMS terms and definitions. They should also understand:

  • The purpose and intended outcomes of an information security management system
  • The Plan-Do-Check-Act approach and the relationship between organisational processes and information security
  • Confidentiality, integrity and availability, together with authenticity and other relevant security properties
  • Information-security risk identification, analysis, evaluation, treatment, acceptance and communication
  • The relationship between the risk-treatment plan, selected controls and Statement of Applicability
  • Information assets, ownership, classification, access control and secure lifecycle concepts
  • Applicable legal, regulatory, contractual, privacy and customer requirements
  • Incident management, business continuity, monitoring, internal audit, corrective action and continual improvement

 

Pre-course readiness: Learners without adequate ISO/IEC 27001 and information-security risk knowledge should complete suitable foundation-level learning or the approved Training Partner’s readiness activity before beginning advanced Lead Auditor training.
