Overview

ISO/IEC 27001 is an international standard that specifies the requirements for an effective Information Security Management System (ISMS). An essential part of the maintenance of an ISMS is auditing, which acts as a tool for identifying potential risks, meeting the requirements of ISO/IEC 27001 and identifying better ways to keep information secure.

This five-day ISO/IEC 27001 Lead Auditor Training Course provides delegates with the skills and knowledge required to effectively perform first, second and third-party audits for Information Security Management Systems.

Interactive and participative workshops include an introduction to auditing, risk assessment during an audit, preparing checklists, auditing techniques and nonconformity reporting.

On successful completion, delegates will receive a CQI and IRCA approved certificate and will satisfy the training requirements for IRCA’s (International Register of Certificated Auditors) ISMS auditor registration across all auditor grades.
