Overview What You Will Learn Curriculum Instructor

Course Overview

Information Security Management Systems (ISMS) governance is essential for organizations seeking to manage cybersecurity risks, establish accountability, and align security practices with business objectives. This course provides a structured approach to governance using ISO and NIST frameworks, helping professionals establish effective security programs and maintain organizational resilience.

This course begins with establishing ISMS governance through strategic planning, scope definition, leadership roles, and NIST CSF alignment. It then covers ISO 27005 and NIST SP 800-30 risk assessment, risk acceptance, control prioritization, cross-framework control mapping, cloud and privacy requirements, governance implementation, continuity and recovery planning, technical control deployment, awareness training, patch management, incident response, KPIs, audit evidence, dashboards, and AI-powered continuous monitoring.

By completing this course, you will gain practical knowledge to plan, implement, monitor, audit, and continuously improve an ISMS using ISO and NIST frameworks while aligning security governance with organizational risk and business objectives.

What You Will Learn

  • Unified Governance Model: Seamlessly harmonize ISO 27001/27002/27701 with the NIST Cybersecurity Framework to create a cohesive, standards-agnostic security program.
  • Structured 16-Step Lifecycle: Follow a clear, phased approach - from scoping and risk assessment through implementation and continual improvement - for reliable governance deployment.
  • Risk-Driven Control Selection: Leverage ISO 27005 and NIST SP 800-30 methodologies to ensure each control directly addresses your organization’s unique risk profile.
  • Audit-Ready Adaptability: Utilize customizable templates, workflows, and checklists to streamline evidence gathering, incident response, and continuous refinement in the face of evolving threats.
