ISO 27001 information security training gives delegates a head start

/EINPresswire.com/ IT Governance Ltd, the global leader in ISO 27001 training, standards, books, and tools, has announced that the 2012 schedule for their foundation and advanced level ISO 27001 information security training courses is ready, and bookings can be made immediately online here www.itgovernance.co.uk/training.aspx. All courses are at 2011 prices.

The ISO 27001 information security training courses are tailored to meet the requirements of the delegates for implementing an information security management system (ISMS) within their organisation depending on the stage of their project.

Alan Calder, CEO of IT governance, says, "The data breaches we witnessed in 2011, as well as various reports on cyber security released recently, show that cyber crime is increasing. The cyber threats will become ever more sophisticated and targeted. This is a clear message to organisations which need go a step further in protecting their information assets and improving their cyber defenses".

'ISO 27001 certification is the best way for every organisation to demonstrate to its customers, shareholders, and other stakeholders, that it follows international best practice for information security management.' Calder continues, 'Developing an ISMS to a high standard inevitably requires qualified staff who are familiar with the ISO 27001 requirements and who are able to implement all procedures and controls correctly and efficiently.'

The ISO27001 ISMS Foundation Course is the recognised starting point for anyone involved in, or considering starting, the journey towards development of an information security management system based on ISO/IEC 27001. This course enables delegates to understand the key concepts of ISO 27001, including its relationship with ISO 27002. Successful candidates will be awarded the ISO 27001 ISMS Foundation Certificate, issued by the exam body gasq, and approved by the International Board for IT Governance Qualifications (IBITGQ). The next available date is on 12 January and places can be booked here: www.itgovernance.co.uk/products/292 .

The ISO27001 Certified Lead Implementer Masterclass will allow delegates to take their understanding of ISO 27001 to the next level and learn how to implement ISO 27001 from a beginner's state through to completion. The next available date is on 30 January - 1 February and places can be booked here: www.itgovernance.co.uk/products/291 . Delegates are awarded an industry recognised qualification by IBITGQ.

Professionals with the responsibility for auditing an information security management system (ISMS), or for ensuring best practice in information security controls, should attend the Certified ISO27001 Lead Auditor Training Course. This course, jointly developed by IT Governance and Certification Europe, and approved by IBITGQ, prepares delegates to plan and execute audits of information security management systems in line with ISO/IEC 27001. The course would also benefit external consultants seeking to support the auditing activity of an information security system within client organisations. The next available date is on 30 January - 1 February and places can be booked here: www.itgovernance.co.uk/products/2753 .
