Explore the fundamentals of information security by examining information assets such as data, hardware, and software, threats, and vulnerabilities, and understand the CIA triad—confidentiality, integrity, and availability—for foundational protection.
Define the CIA triad—confidentiality, integrity, and availability—and why each protects information. Use Alice and Bob scenarios to illustrate breaches and the importance of on-demand access.
Explore how information forms, including digital and unrepresented data, become valuable assets, then grasp information security through confidentiality, integrity, and availability, plus authenticity and non-repudiation.
Discover the purpose and scope of management system standards, learn how ISO 27001 establishes an information security management system (ISMS), and explore the ISO 27000 family.
Management systems are becoming more and more important when it comes to steering larger organizations. This lecture will teach you the basics about this topic.
Information security management systems (ISMS) come in all shapes and sizes. Build a solid foundation about the underlying principles first, before diving into ISO 27001 as a specific example of an ISMS.
Explore how ISO international standards deliver consistent, high-quality results across physical and digital systems, guided by subject matter experts via ISO’s online browsing platform and catalogue.
Get a brief overview of the ISO 27000 family of standards.
Explore the ISO 27001 standard and its requirements, learn the high level structure, highlight the CIA triad and controls, and apply the PDCA cycle for continual information security improvement.
Explore the history of ISO 27001, tracing from BS 7799 to the 2005 and 2022 revisions, highlighting the shift to risk-based information security, annex SL alignment, and 27002 updates.
Explore management system standards and information security management systems to protect confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Understand the ISO 27,000 family and the legal landscape, and prepare for implementing ISO 27,001.
Execute a proven 12-step roadmap to implement ISO 27001, from defining the scope and gap analysis to certification, guided by a ready-to-use project plan and dynamic gantt chart.
Chapter three outlines the normative ISO 27001 requirements, mandatory and additional documented information, common document forms, a 12-step implementation approach, and a customizable project plan, ending with gaining management support.
Define the scope of your information security management system to guide all later steps, including gap analysis, risk work, and ensure top management approval with a formal scope document.
Identify, document, and consider legal, regulatory, statutory, and contractual requirements under control 8.5.31 to meet obligations. Define processes, assign responsibilities, and audit compliance as laws evolve.
Get to know BlitzX Engineering—a fictional company specializing in heavy machinery and equipment manufacturing. We’ll use this company in our case studies to help you better understand how to apply ISO/IEC 27001 in real-world situations.
Define the ISMS scope with organizational, physical, and ICG dimensions grounded in the context of the organization and stakeholder requirements, ensuring all steps apply only to what is in scope.
Drive top management onboarding and resource commitment for ISO 27001:2022, outlining a business case, project charter, roles, governance, and continuous improvement to secure sustained ISMS support.
Develop a business case for ISO/IEC 27001:2022 by aligning with objectives, weighing costs against benefits, and securing top management support for regulatory compliance, market trust, and cyber resilience.
Define clause 5.3 roles, responsibilities, and authorities for top management; assign isms ownership, communicate responsibilities; implement a raci matrix; ensure direct reporting to top management by the information security leader.
Secure top management support to fund the ISMS implementation under ISO/IEC 27001:2022, align the step 3 project plan, and establish CISO reporting and RACI roles.
Define and align information security objectives with the policy using the CIA triad, applying the SMART framework, risk-based inputs, and clear communication and measurement to drive ISMS performance.
Learn how to define and implement the information security policy under ISO/IEC 27001:2022, with top management commitment, documentation, communication, and continual improvement.
Explore ISO/IEC 27001:2022 clause 7.3 awareness, ensuring everyone understands the information security policy, their role in the ISMS, and the consequences of nonconformance.
Establish and maintain a security awareness and training process by determining competence and awareness requirements, developing and conducting programs, documenting results, and iterating for continuous improvement.
If your ISMS doesn't pass the certification audit, you are the one accountable.
Most ISO 27001 implementation projects don't fail because of a lack of effort. They fail because the standard tells you WHAT to do but never HOW to do it. Without a clear roadmap, you spend months Googling vague clauses, debating risk assessment approaches, and building documentation from scratch — never knowing if you're actually moving toward compliance or just creating more work for yourself.
This course gives you the proven system to get it right the first time.
From zero to audit-ready in 12 steps.
Built around a structured 12-step implementation roadmap used by 21,000+ security professionals across 100+ countries. Every step is brought to life through real-world case studies — so you always understand not just what to do, but why it matters for the audit.
