Increase your understanding of the Annex A controls in ISO/IEC 27001:2022 for greater confidence in implementing, managing and auditing an information security management system (ISMS).
This half-day ISO 27001 Annex A training course addresses the complex area of Annex A controls within ISO 27001 through a games-based approach, designed to make learning enjoyable and more effective.
Developed by an industry expert, this highly interactive training course is led by a knowledgeable tutor and ensures that all delegates can take part in the learning process.
The course covers all Annex A themes, with the greatest focus on its technological controls, which are often found to be a weaker area in ISMS auditing.
The course extends the knowledge of those who already have some understanding of ISO 27001. It is suitable for anyone who has already attended, or is planning to attend, an ISO 27001 training course. This may include:
internal auditors
lead auditors
certification body auditors
information security management system implementers and freelance consultants who have some knowledge of the basic structure of ISO 27001, and who may be involved in the design and/or auditing of an ISMS
managers who need to oversee specific activities within an information security management system (e.g. IT Services, Facilities Management).
The course is suitable for all industries, with the principles applicable to both product and service organisations.
You will receive an Annex A guidance document which contains all the Annex A Controls as our recommended pre-course reading. Delegates do not have to bring the entire standard to the course, and can use this guidance document for reference.
The 4-hour course follows the following structure, with exact timings depending on the format of training:
8.45 REGISTRATION
9.00 Welcome and introductions
