ISO/IEC 27001: Transition
The ISO/IEC 27001: Transition course is designed to equip professionals with the knowledge and skills required to manage and implement transitions between versions of the ISO/IEC 27001 standard. It focuses on understanding changes to requirements, assessing their impact on an existing Information Security Management System (ISMS), and ensuring continued conformity and certification. ISO/IEC 27001 is published jointly by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). As the standard evolves, organizations must adapt their ISMS to remain compliant, effective, and aligned with best practices. This course provides structured guidance on gap analysis, transition planning, documentation updates, control alignment, audit readiness, and certification continuity, making it essential for ISMS implementers, auditors, consultants, and managers involved in maintaining ISO/IEC 27001 certification. Course Objectives By the end of this course, participants will be able to: Understand the purpose and scope of ISO/IEC 27001 transition requirements Identify and interpret changes between ISO/IEC 27001 versions Assess the impact of standard updates on an existing ISMS Plan and manage a structured ISO/IEC 27001 transition project Update ISMS documentation, risk treatment, and controls as required Prepare for transition audits and maintain certification status
