Introduction to Information Security Management Systems and ISO27001

Course overview
We now live and work in the digital economy, where the demand for access to ready, reliable data is taken for granted. However, we are all confronted by new risks that threaten the very information that has become the “life blood” of business and society. By focusing on the three domains of information assurance – i.e. confidentiality, integrity and availability – a properly designed and implemented information security management system (ISMS) can generate a number of valuable business benefits, over and above the basic aims
of protecting information. The advantages of adopting ISO27001 as a framework for an ISMS are numerous, and these will be examined, not just in terms of compliance but also as a management system that supports continual improvement throughout the organisation.

Course objectives
The course is intended to provide an understanding of –

  • What is meant by “information security”
  • What an information security management system
    (ISMS) is
  • The benefits of implementing an ISMS
  • The various standards relating to information
    security and ISMSs, particularly ISO27001
  • The implementation of an ISMS – requirements, challenges, where to
    start
  • The tools required for implementing an ISMS
  • The ISMS and continual improvement
  • Course content
    This one day course covers the following –
    An overview and the basic requirements of an
    ISMS
  • Explanation of how an ISMS can benefit business

    Applicability

    implementation
