Information security threats and attacks are continuously increasing and becoming more sophisticated. Organizations are therefore under pressure to demonstrably protect their valuable information. Effectively implementing, auditing, and managing security measures according to best practices is essential. Moreover, customers, regulators, and other stakeholders are setting increasingly higher demands for information security, with ISO 27001 becoming a highly sought-after certification. 

The ISO 27001 Lead Auditor training prepares you for auditing an ISMS based on ISO/IEC 27001:2022. You will learn how to plan and conduct both internal and external audits according to the guidelines of ISO 19011 and the certification process of ISO/IEC 17021-1.

The training is highly practice-oriented, with exercises and cases from daily practice. This way, you not only develop the right auditing skills but also learn how to manage an audit program, guide an audit team, communicate effectively with stakeholders, and deal with resistance or conflict situations.

The lesson days consist of a combination of theory and practice:

• Lessons that are richly filled with practical examples based on real cases
• Practical assignments based on a full case study including role play
• A mock exam that is comparable to the real certification exam

In the ISO 27001 Lead Auditor exam, you will be tested on the domains below, for which the training will prepare you:

• Domain 1: Fundamental principles and concepts of an Information Security Management System (ISMS)
• Domain 2: Information Security Management System (ISMS) 
• Domain 3: Fundamental audit concepts and principles 
• Domain 4: Preparation of an ISO/IEC 27001 audit
• Domain 5: Execution of an ISO/IEC 27001 audit
• Domain 6: Closure of an ISO/IEC 27001 audit 
• Domain 7: Management of an ISO/IEC 27001 audit program 

The training is a combination of theory and practice and is illustrated with examples based on real cases. To fully benefit from the various practical assignments, the number of participants per group is limited. You will complete the training immediately with the subsequent exam, after which you can apply for the corresponding certification and title, depending on your experience, if you achieve a good result. Our trainers have extensive practical experience with ISO 27001 audits in various sectors.

This training is classroom-based but can also be attended Live Online if desired. You will then follow the training live remotely with our own instructor, view the slides and notes on the whiteboard, and can ask questions to both the trainer and your fellow participants. So, it's just like being present at the classroom training, but from your own location. If the Live Online training does not meet your expectations, you may attend it again in person with us free of charge within a year.
