Course Overview
The Credential for People Who Build Information Security Management, Not Just Describe It
Information security threats and attacks keep growing more frequent and sophisticated. The best defence is a well-run information security management system (ISMS) — and customers, legislators and partners increasingly expect one.
As a Lead Implementer, you scope the ISMS, win project approval, run risk management, produce the Statement of Applicability, implement controls and security operations, and get the organisation ready for certification. Veloraa delivers the official PECB curriculum online, with practical examples, exercises and quizzes so you can apply what you learn straight away.
