ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Information Security Management Systems Lead Implementer Training and Certification Program

Programme Summary

Practise leading a structured information security management implementation project against ISO/IEC 27001:2022. Working through a cloud enabled business information case, participants translate information risks, justified security controls and assurance evidence into accountable controls, resources and measurable milestones. The programme develops an implementation portfolio, tests operational feasibility and prepares management review evidence to support proportionate protection of information and business services.

Training Objectives

1 Structure information security management implementation leadership; 2 Translate requirements into workable controls; 3 Coordinate ownership resources and project milestones; 4 Establish meaningful measures and review evidence; 5 Prepare implementation priorities for management approval.

Learning Outcomes

1 Build a information security management implementation roadmap; 2 Specify controls for unsupported control exclusions; 3 Design risk assessment and treatment records; 4 Assign accountable owners and measurable milestones; 5 Present a justified management review proposal.

Target Audience

Information Security Managers; IT Risk Managers; Security Governance Analysts; Implementation Project Managers; Management System Consultants.

Assessment

• 100 single best answer questions, including applied scenarios; one mark per question.
• 150 minute invigilated digital examination with identity verification. Approved accessibility adjustments preserve the assessed competence.
• Clean standard text and supplied case documents permitted; internet, messaging and external AI tools prohibited.
• Individual applied assessment (90 minutes): Using a cloud enabled business information case, develop an information security implementation plan and treatment portfolio, assign resources and milestones, demonstrate one control and defend implementation priorities in a brief panel review.
• Assessment criteria: Workable design of controls for unsupported control exclusions; Relevant evidence portfolio including risk assessment and treatment records; Feasible sequencing ownership and measurable implementation acceptance criteria.
• Pass each component separately: 75/100 written marks (75%) and at least 70% on the applied task.
• All mandatory criteria must pass: Do not fabricate evidence or knowingly present unsupported conformity conclusions; Protect confidential or personal information within supplied case material.
• Individual results and feedback are provided. One reassessment may follow coaching under the published enrolment terms.

Certification

• Successful learners receive a TQCSI Arabia digital Certificate of Successful Completion.
• The certificate records the learner name, exact programme title, teaching hours, completion date and unique verification reference.
• Verified identity, full attendance and separate written and applied passes are required; all mandatory critical criteria must be met.
• Proposed issue target: within 30 calendar days of approved results and settlement of applicable fees.
• Records assessed implementation planning skills in information security management; it does not confer independent personnel certification or guarantee organisational certification.
• Attendance confirmation may record completed hours for unsuccessful learners; it does not certify successful completion.
