Digital transformation brings speed and reach, but it also moves valuable data and critical processes outside the traditional office network. Organisations now run on cloud services, remote access, third-party platforms and connected devices, and each new link can become a path for attackers. Security that depends on a firewall and an annual policy review no longer matches this reality. Boards and regulators expect risk-based, documented and tested protection, and many clients require ISO 27001 certification before they will share data or award contracts.

The Digital Transformation in Cybersecurity & Information Security (ISO 27001) Training Course combines the technical and governance sides of the discipline over two weeks. The first week establishes security foundations: threats and attack methods, secure network design, identity and access, cryptography, hardening and vulnerability management, followed by the structure of ISO 27001, risk assessment and the controls in Annex A. The second week applies these foundations to modern environments, covering cloud and application security, monitoring and detection, incident response, forensics, resilience, supplier assurance, privacy and audit.

Hands-on laboratories take place throughout, including scanning, log analysis, phishing simulations and tabletop incident exercises. In the final days, groups bring everything together in a project that produces a risk register, a Statement of Applicability, key policies and an audit readiness plan.

By the close of the ten days, participants will be able to:

• Describe current cyber threats, attack techniques and the weaknesses they exploit.
• Configure and review network, endpoint and identity controls, including multi-factor authentication.
• Define the scope and context of an ISO 27001 information security management system.
• Carry out an information asset and risk assessment and select treatments.
• Produce a Statement of Applicability and map Annex A controls to evidence.
• Apply secure practices for cloud services, applications, APIs and mobile devices.
• Detect, triage and respond to security incidents using a documented process.
• Conduct internal audits and prepare the organisation for a certification audit.

The programme is designed for people who build, run or assure digital systems, including:

• Information security officers and security analysts
• IT managers and heads of technology
• Network, systems and cloud administrators
• Software developers and DevOps engineers moving into security
• Risk, compliance and data protection officers
• Internal and IT auditors
• Digital transformation and project leads
• Business continuity and disaster recovery managers
• Security staff in banks, telecoms, government agencies and NGOs

Participants leave the programme with:

• A completed information asset register and risk assessment for a chosen scope.
• A draft Statement of Applicability with justified control selections.
• A set of core ISMS policies and procedures to adapt.
• A hardening checklist for servers, endpoints and cloud accounts.
• A tested incident response plan and communication template.
• An internal audit checklist and a certification readiness roadmap.
• Practical experience with scanning, log review and monitoring tools.

The ten days balance explanation with laboratory practice so that participants build skills they can use immediately. Delivery includes:

• Hands-on labs in a safe test environment covering scanning, hardening and log analysis
• Tabletop incident simulations with assigned roles and timed decisions
• Template-based workshops for risk registers, policies and the Statement of Applicability
• Case studies of breaches in financial, public sector and health organisations
• A final group project reviewed against audit-style criteria

Participants who attend the ten days and complete the labs and the final project will be awarded a CPD-accredited Certificate of Completion by Vision Reach Global Consultancy. It recognises completed training and does not replace an ISO 27001 auditor qualification.
