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:

• Explain the structure and requirements of ISO/IEC 27001 and its relationship to ISO 27002 and ISO 27005.
• Define the ISMS scope and build an asset inventory with classification, owners and dependencies.
• Identify threats and vulnerabilities and score risks consistently.
• Prepare a risk treatment plan and a Statement of Applicability.
• Select and evaluate Annex A controls across people, process, physical and technological themes.
• Assess third-party, cloud and supply chain security risk.
• Plan incident response, business continuity and security monitoring.
• Conduct internal audits and management reviews to prepare for external certification.

The course is designed for professionals who manage, assess or assure information security, such as:

• Information security officers and managers
• IT managers and systems administrators
• Risk and compliance officers
• Internal and IT auditors
• Data protection officers
• Cloud and network engineers moving into governance roles
• Security consultants and implementers of management systems
• System owners in banks, telecoms, government and NGOs

Participants leave the course with:

• A populated information security risk register based on a sound method.
• A draft Statement of Applicability with justified control choices.
• A risk treatment plan with owners, timelines and residual risk.
• An incident response playbook tested in a tabletop exercise.
• An internal audit checklist aligned to ISO 27001 clauses.
• A roadmap for moving their organisation towards certification readiness.

Over ten days the programme alternates explanation with building real documents. Participants experience:

• Instructor-led sessions on the standard and risk methods
• Cumulative labs that produce a risk register and Statement of Applicability
• Threat modelling and configuration review exercises
• Tabletop incident simulations with assigned response roles
• Peer audits of each other's documentation
• Mentoring time for adapting outputs to a home organisation

Participants who attend all ten days and complete the lab work and final roadmap presentation are awarded a CPD-accredited Certificate of Completion by Vision Reach Global Consultancy. The certificate recognises training completed and is not a certification under ISO/IEC 27001.
