Ransomware, phishing, insider misuse and supplier breaches hit organisations of every size, and boards, regulators, banks and donors now ask for proof that information risk is managed systematically. An ISO 27001 management system gives that proof, but only if the underlying risk assessment is sound. Ten days take you from first principles to a working, auditable programme.
The first week builds the foundations: information assets and classification, threat and vulnerability analysis, risk methods in ISO 27005 and NIST SP 800-30, likelihood and impact scoring, the Statement of Applicability and the risk treatment plan. You also study the ISO 27001 clauses on context, leadership, planning, support and operation. The second week goes deeper, with Annex A control families, access management, cryptography, secure development, cloud and supplier risk, incident response, business continuity, vulnerability management, security monitoring, internal audit, management review and certification preparation. Practical labs use sample organisations and tools such as risk registers, MITRE ATT&CK mapping and tabletop exercises. The course is designed for information security officers, IT managers, risk and compliance professionals, auditors, consultants and system owners. It is offered in classroom, online and in-house formats, with a CPD-accredited certificate and a drafted risk assessment for your own organisation.
Information is among the most valuable assets an organisation holds, and it is under constant attack. Phishing, credential theft, ransomware and misconfigured cloud services lead to financial loss, operational shutdown and legal exposure. Many organisations respond with a collection of tools but without a clear view of which risks matter most, who owns them and whether controls are really working.
The Risk Management for Cybersecurity & Information Security (ISO 27001) Training Course gives participants a structured way to answer those questions. The first phase teaches the vocabulary and mechanics of information risk: identifying assets and owners, modelling threats, evaluating vulnerabilities, scoring risk and choosing among treat, tolerate, transfer and terminate options. Participants then see how these results feed the requirements of ISO/IEC 27001, including the Statement of Applicability, objectives, documented information and performance evaluation.
The second phase moves into implementation depth. Participants study technical and organisational controls, test them against realistic attack scenarios, assess third-party and cloud exposure, rehearse incident response and learn how to audit and improve the system. Work is lab-based and cumulative, and every participant develops a risk register, a draft Statement of Applicability and an improvement roadmap that can be adapted to their own environment.
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
