Maintaining industry standards - ISO 27001 Training and Consulting
Throughout the business world, there has been an observed benefit of using international standards. The benefit is not only useful in creating better profit margins by improving the process overall, but it also helps in facing audits. Audits which grant certifications; certifications which let customers know that high-quality standards are maintained by organisations, which have earned a particular certificate.
A consumer is very concerned about his/ her privacy. Once they share their details with an organisation for some services, it’s the organisation's responsibility to make sure the data of their clients is safe and continues to remain private. At times that data could even pose a threat of money being lost. To remediate this, organisations align themselves to Information Security Management System and try to implement security controls as highlighted by ISO 27001. ISO 27001 is a certificate from the International Organisation for Standardisation which lays out the specifications that should be followed in order to maintain a secure environment for all housed information. ISO 27001 Training and Consulting plays a vital role in beefing up the security controls and preparing the staff to do the needful.
Continuity & Resilience (CORE), offers ISO 27001 Training and Consulting which is suitable for all. There are multiple courses available in this domain, e.g. a 5-day course called the Lead Auditor Course on Information Security Management System (ISMS) based on ISO 27001:2013 (IRCA Approved, where IRCA is the International Register of Certificate Auditors). The attendees are assured of in-depth and practical understanding of ISO 27001:2013 at the completion of the course. Participants who clear the written assessment and examination at the end would be issued a certificate of completion, and are certified competent to lead a team of ISMS auditors.
Another course is a rather shorter in duration, the 2-day course Transition Course from ISO/IEC 27001:2005 to ISO/IEC 27001:2013 (IRCA Approved). The course can only be undertaken by professionals who have already cleared IRCA 5-day ISO27001:2005 Lead Auditor course. The standards for ISO 27001:2005 were revised in the year 2013 and the certification was changed to ISO 27001:2013. The course is tailor-made for the top and middle management in information security and risk management domians.
Every hack that takes place in the world, brings with itself a huge dent in the reputation of the victim organisation. There is a need for introspection and improvement in the security controls of every organisation. ISO 27001 helps any business organisation to attain those standards which then can be reflected for the customers so that they know their information is in secure hands and can trust the business organisation. The merit of security controls being properly implemented is proved by the ISO 27001 certification. There is no silver bullet to information security, implementation of best practices along with proper security controls is the safest pathway and ISO 27001 are the specifications on that pathway.
When it comes to implementing the ISMS, CORE’s competent and experienced resources can be utilized for consulting as well, where they establish the correct requirements through a Gap Assessment and then help the clients to bridge those gaps as well.
