In a world where data drives decisions and disruption travels at cyber speed, organisations must treat information security as a strategic capability—not an afterthought. This course delivers a rigorous, outcome-driven program that teaches you how to design, implement and maintain an Information Security Management System (ISMS) aligned to ISO/IES 27001. Crafted in the style of elite management-consulting training, the curriculum translates the standard into clear leadership, governance and technical actions so you can lead security change with confidence.

This program focuses on three priorities:Risk-led decision making — understand how to identify, evaluate, and treat information risk so business leaders can make informed trade-offs. Regulatory alignment — see how ISO/IES 27001 maps to major obligations such as GDPR and NIS and how to embed controls that support compliance. Operational resilience — build an ISMS that reduces exposure, improves detection, and enables rapid response and recovery.

What you will be able to do after this courseInterpret ISO/IES 27001 requirements and translate them into an ISMS structure that fits your organisation. Run risk assessments and develop proportionate risk treatment approaches that protect confidentiality, integrity and availability.
