Integrated ISMS & QMS Auditor Training Course

Information Security has evolved to become an essential part of everyday business. Breaches of information security not only affect a business’s brand and reputation, but it can also impact on day to day operations (including meeting customer requirements) and carries legal implications that frequently lead to companies being fined for breaching data protection. This, in addition to GDPR, means there is a stronger need for stricter information security practices in companies than ever before.

As Internal auditing is one of the fundamental activities for maintaining and improving a Management System, the internal auditor plays a highly important role in determining the effectiveness of an organisation’s information security processes. This two-day Integrated  Information Security Management System (ISMS) & Quality Management System (QMS) Auditor training course is designed to provide students with an understanding of ISO 27001 and Information Security, both from an implementation and auditing perspective, so that they can incorporate information security criteria into their existing Quality Management System audits.
