Introduction to Information Security

In today’s interconnected world, information security is a major concern for individuals and organizations. Protecting sensitive data from unauthorized access, cyberthreats and breaches is essential to maintaining trust, compliance and operational continuity. Information security involves a set of strategies and measures designed to protect digital and physical information from potential risks. With the growing reliance on digital systems and the proliferation of cyber threats, the demand for qualified information security professionals has never been greater.

What is the ISO 27001 standard?

ISO 27001 is an internationally recognized standard for information security management systems (ISMS). It provides a systematic approach to managing sensitive enterprise information, ensuring its confidentiality, integrity and availability. The ISO 27001 standard describes the requirements for the establishment, implementation, maintenance and continuous improvement of an ISMS. By adhering to these requirements, organizations can effectively mitigate the risks associated with information security breaches and demonstrate their commitment to protecting data.

Alison’s free course, ISO 27001:2022 Diploma – Information Security Management System (ISMS), is designed to help you master the intricacies of this essential standard. This comprehensive, free course gives you the knowledge and practical skills needed to implement a robust ISMS.

What makes this ISO 27001 diploma course stand out?

Unlike short awareness courses, this diploma program goes beyond basic knowledge. It offers an in-depth exploration of the ISO 27001:2022 standard, providing detailed guidance on its practical implementation and compliance. While awareness courses can give you an overview, this degree ensures you gain a thorough understanding of the standards, controls, and risk management practices necessary to create and maintain a secure information management system. This course is about learning and also applying information security principles in real-world scenarios.

Why choose this course?

Information security is more crucial than ever in today’s digital age. Faced with increasing cyber threats, organizations need experts who can protect their data. This course is designed to meet this demand by providing an in-depth understanding and practical application of ISO 27001:2022.

What you will learn:

• Module 1: ISMS Fundamentals – This module provides an overview of ISMS. Learn about its business case, rationale, and key discussions on recognized standards.
• Module 2: ISMS Requirements – Get a detailed understanding of the auditable requirements of ISO 27001:2020. This includes articles 4 to 10, covering organizational context, leadership, planning, support, operation, performance evaluation and improvement.
• Module 3: Information Security Operations Controls – Dive into the revamped controls in Annex A of ISO 27001:2022. These controls are designed for better integration with information security operations. These controls are defined through a statement of applicability based on the cybersecurity risk assessment.
• Module 4: Risk assessment with ISO 27005 – Master the concepts of risk management based on the ISO/IEC 27005 standard. Learn about risk management and the various controls. Again, the commands from module 3 are relevant here.
• Module 5: Implementation guidance – Receive comprehensive guidance on implementing ISMS using ISO/IEC 27002 and ISO/IEC 27701. These additional standards provide additional information on privacy management and ISO implementation 27001.
• Module 6: Operational controls in ISO 27001:2013 – Understand legacy operational controls, including security policies, information security organization, human resource security and asset management. Some companies may still use these old 114 controls until the transition period. Furthermore, a fraction of them might continue to use it even after that. Since ISO 27001:2013 has long been a popular standard, many companies have developed systems with the older controls. And they might want to keep the old command language and the new ones.
