Information Security Auditor acc. to ISO 27001

Conduct internal audits yourself and contribute to continuous improvement.

Overview

The Information Security Auditor course series is the ideal supplement for trained Information Security Managers.

With the auditor training, you can carry out all internal audits yourself and contribute to continuous improvement, as well as optimally prepare a company for external audits with the help of the methods taught in the course.

In addition, you may be able to work as a freelance CIS auditor if you have the relevant professional experience.

Objective

After attending this series of courses, you will be able to plan and carry out both internal and external audits and analyze their results. You will be able to recognize and evaluate any weaknesses and potential for improvement.

Furthermore, you will have mastered the basic rules of communication in theory and practice and will be able to think in terms of systems.

Certification

CIS was the first organization in Austria to be accredited for personal certification. The certificates we issue therefore comply with nationally and internationally recognized standards.

After successfully passing the exam, you will receive the “Information Security Auditor according to ISO/IEC 27001” certificate, provided that you have at least two years of professional experience (within the last 3 years) in the field of information security management and can demonstrate 4 audits with a total of at least 15 audit days in the field of information security (including preparation and follow-up work, within the last 3 years).

If you do not yet have two years of experience or sufficient audit days, you will be issued with a certificate with the status “Candidate.” As soon as you have the required practical experience, we will reissue your certificate free of charge—simply, unbureaucratically, and as an expression of our commitment to quality. Please note: Candidate status cannot be extended.

As an Information Security Auditor, you support the “highest authority” for ISM systems in the company. You assess information security in terms of its compliance with standards and conformity with the company’s own guidelines, specifications and processes. You support the development of potential improvements before a company is awarded the CIS certificate for the best possible standard of security in accordance with ISO/IEC 27001 or an extension of the certificate is issued.
