Ransomware, payment fraud, data leaks and supply chain compromise are no longer purely technical problems. They stop operations, trigger regulatory action and damage reputations, and boards are expected to ask the right questions. This ten-day programme prepares senior leaders to direct information security rather than delegate it blindly. The first half covers threat landscape and governance, cyber risk quantification, the structure of ISO/IEC 27001 and 27002, scoping, the statement of applicability, risk assessment and treatment, policies, and the role of leadership and accountability in an information security management system.
The second half goes deeper into technical and operational controls that leaders must understand, including access management, cloud and third-party risk, secure development, monitoring, incident response, business continuity, crisis communication, internal audit and certification readiness. Table-top simulations test your decisions under pressure. The course is intended for CEOs, directors, CIOs, CISOs, risk and compliance heads, internal auditors, legal counsel and senior managers in government, banks, telecoms, health and NGOs. It is delivered in the classroom, online or in-house with a CPD-accredited certificate. You return with a board-ready security roadmap.
Digital services now sit at the centre of banking, government, healthcare, education and commerce, which makes information security a standing board-level concern. Attackers target the weakest link, whether that is an unpatched server, a supplier or a distracted employee, and regulators in many sectors expect documented governance, risk assessment and incident reporting. Executives who do not understand the basics cannot judge whether the organisation is protected or where to invest.
Executive Cybersecurity & Information Security (ISO 27001) Training Course gives senior leaders both the strategic and the practical picture. The programme opens with cyber threats, attacker methods and the business impact of incidents, then builds a working understanding of ISO/IEC 27001: context, leadership commitment, scope, risk assessment methodology, treatment plans, the statement of applicability and the Annex A control themes. Subsequent days examine identity and access, network and cloud security, vendor risk, awareness, data protection, vulnerability management, monitoring, incident response and recovery, resilience testing, metrics, audit and certification preparation.
Learning is deliberately interactive. Leaders take part in risk workshops, review sample policies and audit findings, run a ransomware table-top exercise and design a security roadmap with budget, ownership and reporting lines for their own organisation.
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
