ISO/IEC 27001 Auditor

Qualify your team as an ISO/IEC 27001 auditor, either as Internal Auditor or as Lead Auditor. You learn to audit an information security management system, identify nonconformities and plan, run and document audits properly.

Details

Audits are the early-warning system of an ISMS. They show whether controls work before an external certification audit. The training covers the methodology of ISO 19011 and ISO/IEC 17021 and works with hands-on audit scenarios.

Two levels, selectable in the configurator: Internal Auditor (3 days) and Lead Auditor (5 days). The certification exam is optional (Internal +€150, Lead +€200 net p.p.).
