The ISO/IEC 27002 Information Security Controls training is a comprehensive three-day program designed to help participants understand, interpret, and apply the information security controls defined in ISO/IEC 27002. This course focuses on control objectives, implementation guidance, and practical application of controls to support an effective Information Security Management System (ISMS) aligned with ISO/IEC 27001 requirements.

• Understand the principles, structure, and security control framework of ISO/IEC 27002 for information security management.
• Identify organizational, people, physical, and technological security controls for risk mitigation.
• Apply security control selection, implementation, and management practices aligned with business and compliance requirements.
• Implement access control, data protection, incident management, asset security, and operational security measures.
• Evaluate control effectiveness, compliance status, audit findings, and continuous improvement opportunities.
• Build secure, compliant, and risk-driven information security control frameworks using ISO/IEC 27002 best practices.
