Course Overview
Modern organizations must go beyond compliance checkboxes and establish mature security and privacy governance frameworks. ISO 27001 outlines how to implement a risk‑based ISMS, while ISO 27701 extends it into privacy governance. This course explains how the two standards complement each other, covers fundamentals of information security and privacy (CIA triad, PII concepts, GDPR/DPDP basics), and shows why integrated security & privacy programs reduce risk, increase customer trust and support regulatory compliance. Through live sessions, practical exercises and case‑based discussions, you’ll gain the skills to design, implement and audit a combined ISMS + PIMS tailored to your organization.
