Whether you're an Information Security Manager, ISO 27001 Implementer, Auditor, or part of a GRC team, you'll gain practical strategies, tools, and templates to embed security into daily operations, maintain audit readiness, and foster a culture of continual improvement.

You’ll learn how to review and update the ISMS scope as your organization evolves, manage documentation and controls practically, and monitor risk in real-time. We’ll explore how to conduct effective internal audits, prepare for surveillance and recertification audits, and perform management reviews that drive real action. You'll also gain insights into building awareness across roles, managing CAPAs, tracking ISMS performance metrics, and simulating external audits internally.
