Reading the ISO 27001 standard is not enough
ISO 27001 is dense and technical. It tells you what needs to be done, but not how to do it. That is why so many companies obtain the standard, try to navigate it on their own and get stuck when they reach their first audit. This training is designed to bridge exactly that gap: taking what the standard requires and showing you how to put it into practice within your organisation.
What your company gains from ISO 27001
Opens the door to new contracts
Public tenders and major clients use ISO 27001 as a selection criterion. Without it, your proposal may not even be considered.
Move from reacting to preventing
Identify risks before they impact your business. ISO 27001 helps you set priorities and implement measures to reduce those risks in a structured way.
Builds trust with clients and partners
ISO 27001 shows clients and partners that your organisation takes information security seriously. It reduces friction in the sales process and can help clients make decisions faster.
Supports GDPR compliance and other legal requirements
A well-implemented information security management system helps address many legal data protection requirements without duplicating work.
Controls access to information
Client data, contracts, financial information and passwords. The standard requires you to know who has access to what and why that access is necessary.
Prepares your team to make informed decisions
The training equips those responsible for managing the system to make informed, well-founded decisions rather than constantly relying on an external consultant.
This Training Is for You If...
Manages or implements information security
You will be responsible for managing the system. You need to know how to set it up and maintain it, not just understand the theory behind the standard.
Prepares for audits or certification
You have an audit coming up and need to know what the auditor will ask for, what evidence to gather and which mistakes could lead to non-conformities.
Works in compliance, risk or data protection
You need to understand how ISO 27001 aligns with the GDPR and your other obligations, without creating unnecessary additional work.
Leads a team or an organisation
The standard places responsibility on top management. You need to know what you are expected to approve, what you should require and what you cannot afford to overlook.
Wants to move into a career in cybersecurity
ISO 27001 provides a foundation for many areas of information security. It is a solid and widely recognised entry point into the industry.
Has already tried to implement the standard alone and got stuck
You obtained the standard, started working through it and realised it does not explain how to put the requirements into practice. This training provides exactly the bridge you were missing.

Introduction to ISO/IEC 27001:2022: What changed and why it matters
The starting point for understanding where the standard fits within your organisation.
- What changed in the 2022 version compared with the previous version, and what this means in practice
- The current market context and why ISO 27001 is particularly relevant today
- How an Information Security Management System fits into a real-world organisation
Understanding the Standard’s Requirements: What ISO 27001 Requires
The seven pillars that underpin the system, translated from the language of the standard into practical business terms.
- Context of the organisation (Clause 4): how to align the system with what the organisation actually wants to achieve
- Leadership (Clause 5): what top management needs to take responsibility for and how this affects the organisation’s security culture
- Planning (Clause 6): how to identify risks, set objectives and decide where to act first
- Support (Clause 7): the resources, competencies, communication and documentation needed to support the system
- Operation (Clause 8): how to implement and maintain information security in day-to-day operations, not just on paper
- Performance evaluation (Clause 9): how to monitor, analyse and audit the system to determine whether it is working effectively
- Improvement (Clause 10): how to correct, adapt and continuously improve the system over time
Understanding Annex A Controls: The Practical Measures You Will Implement
The standard’s four groups of controls, explained by what they do rather than by their reference numbers.
- Organisational controls: the policies, roles and processes that structure information security at management level
- People controls: access, training and responsibilities for those who handle information on a daily basis
- Physical controls: protecting premises, equipment and physical access to information
- Technological controls: the measures that support digital security, from firewalls to backups and encryption
Using AI in the Workplace Without Compromising Information Security BONUS
If you use AI tools in your work, such as ChatGPT, Copilot or Claude, this section is particularly important.
- Where AI can create information security risks without your team realising it
- What should never, under any circumstances, be entered into an AI tool
- How to use AI in day-to-day work without compromising the information that ISO 27001 is designed to protect
- Simple principles to give your team before a problem arises

Frequently Asked Questions
No. ISO 27001 certification is a process that involves implementing the management system and undergoing an audit by a certification body. This training gives you the knowledge and methodology to manage that process with far fewer mistakes and much less reliance on external support.
Yes, for two reasons. First, it helps align the wider team and top management, whose involvement is required by the standard and is essential to keeping the project moving forward. Second, it provides an external, practical perspective that can often help resolve issues where the internal implementation process has stalled.
Strongstep supports organisations with ISO 27001 implementation and certification preparation projects. You can indicate that you are interested in this support on the registration form, and we can discuss it separately with no obligation.
