Cyber incidents now rank among the most disruptive risks any organisation faces, and the pressure to demonstrate good practice comes from every side: customers in tender documents, regulators in data protection and sector rules, insurers and donors in due diligence questionnaires. ISO/IEC 27001 offers a recognised, auditable way to show that security is managed rather than improvised.

The Planning and Implementation of Cybersecurity & Information Security (ISO 27001) Training Course is a practical ten-day journey through the standard's requirements and the work needed to meet them. The first week covers the structure of the standard, scoping, leadership, policy, asset inventory, risk methodologies and the Statement of Applicability. The second week concentrates on implementing and testing controls, including technical measures, people and supplier security, incident management and continuity, followed by internal audit, management review and certification preparation.

Throughout, participants build the documents and records an auditor expects, using templates and a running case organisation. The course emphasises proportionate, risk-based decisions so that smaller institutions can adopt the same logic as large ones, and closes with a roadmap participants can take straight back to work.

By the end of the programme, participants will be able to:

• Explain the clauses of ISO/IEC 27001 and how the management system cycle operates.
• Define context, scope and information security objectives for an organisation.
• Conduct an information security risk assessment and produce a risk treatment plan.
• Prepare a Statement of Applicability and select Annex A controls with justification.
• Implement technical and organisational controls for access, networks, endpoints and suppliers.
• Develop incident response and business continuity arrangements that are tested.
• Plan and perform an internal audit and report nonconformities and corrective actions.
• Prepare for external certification audits and sustain continual improvement.

The programme is designed for professionals who plan, run or assess information security, including:

• Chief information security officers and security managers
• IT managers and heads of infrastructure
• Information security and risk officers
• Compliance, privacy and data protection officers
• Internal and IT auditors
• Network, systems and cloud administrators
• Project managers leading certification projects
• Consultants supporting ISMS implementation in banks, telecoms and public bodies

Participants complete the programme with:

• A scoped ISMS plan with objectives, roles and a phased timeline.
• An asset register and risk assessment worked on a case organisation.
• A draft Statement of Applicability with control justifications.
• Outline policies and procedures for access, incidents and supplier security.
• An internal audit programme and checklist.
• A certification readiness roadmap tailored to their own organisation.

The programme is workshop-driven, using a single case organisation across the ten days, with:

• Expert explanation of each clause and control theme
• Template-based workshops to produce scope, risk and SoA documents
• Technical labs on access review, hardening and log analysis
• An incident simulation and a mock internal audit
• Peer review of each participant's roadmap

Participants who attend the programme and complete the workshops and labs receive a CPD-accredited Certificate of Completion issued by Vision Reach Global Consultancy.

The certificate evidences training completed and does not constitute ISO 27001 lead implementer or auditor certification.
