With the growing number of internal and external information security threats, organizations are increasingly recognizing the importance of implementing best practice controls to safeguard their information assets. By implementing and maintaining suitable controls, organizations become less susceptible to information security breaches and the financial and reputational damage they cause. 

ISO/IEC 27002 provides guidelines to help organizations select, implement and manage information security controls, taking into account their risk environment. It contains 4 security control clauses, which cover 93 controls. These controls are intended to be applicable to all organizations and represent a minimum ‘starting point’, i.e. additional controls and guidelines can be added as required. The standard supports the concepts and framework specified in ISO/IEC 27001.

This course aims to provide clear and practical guidance on implementing the controls from ISO/IEC 27001 and other relevant management practice guidance.  

Course Aim

This course aims to assist organizations to implement commonly accepted information security controls, either as part of an ISO/IEC 27001 information security management system (ISMS) or as a standalone activity through the use of ISO/IEC 27002.

How will I benefit?

This course will help you:

• Apply the best practice controls contained in ISO/IEC 27002 
• Identify the key benefits of using ISO/IEC 27002 to protect information assets, as part of an effective ISMS or as a standalone activity
• Explain the rationale behind the processes and usages associated with the controls
• Recognize how implementing these commonly accepted controls will help reduce levels of risk within your organization
• Implement the controls more effectively through clear and practical guidance

This course will help organizations identify appropriate controls to be implemented in different situations, along with the benefits and potential pitfalls of doing so.

What will I learn?

Upon completion of this training, you will be able to:

• Explain the background and purpose of ISO/IEC 27002
• Explain the scope and structure of ISO/IEC 27002
• Recognize the different best practice controls recommended by ISO/IEC 27002
• Define the benefits of implementing controls from ISO/IEC 27002
• Evaluate how to use the controls in conjunction with an ISO/IEC 27001 based ISMS
• Demonstrate how to choose the appropriate controls relevant to you
• Implement chosen controls from ISO/IEC 27002

Who should attend?

Anyone who wants to learn:

•To identify and understand commonly accepted information security controls

•How risks can be reduced to an acceptable level using controls
