Information Security Manager acc. to ISO 27001

Key positions in the company with leadership and technology expertise.

Overview

This course provides you with the skills of an Information Security Manager. These roles occupy one of those central positions in the company where management and technological expertise are equally in demand. They are responsible for setting up, implementing and continuously improving the information security management system (ISMS) on behalf of top management and act as an interface between top management and all areas of the company.

Objective

As a graduate of this course, you will be familiar with the processes and standard requirements for implementing ISO 27001 and ISO 27002 and will be able to apply these in practice. You will be familiar with the laws and regulations relevant to information security and have the tools to be a competent contact for legal advisors. You will also know how to form, lead and motivate teams and be able to successfully implement projects.

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 Manager according to ISO/IEC 27001” certificate, provided you have at least two years of professional experience (within the last three years) in the field of information security management.

If you cannot currently provide proof of two years’ experience, you will be issued with a certificate with “candidate” status. As soon as you have gained 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.
