ISO/IEC 27002: Foundation
The ISO/IEC 27002: Foundation course provides participants with a solid understanding of information security controls and control implementation guidance as defined in ISO/IEC 27002, the internationally recognized code of practice for information security controls. ISO/IEC 27002 is published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and serves as the primary reference for Annex A controls in ISO/IEC 27001. While ISO/IEC 27001 defines what must be done, ISO/IEC 27002 explains how controls can be implemented and managed effectively. This Foundation-level course moves beyond awareness and introduces learners to the structure, control themes, attributes, and practical application of ISO/IEC 27002. It is designed to support professionals involved in ISMS implementation, risk treatment, control selection, audit preparation, and continual improvement. Course Objectives By the end of this course, participants will be able to: Understand the purpose and scope of ISO/IEC 27002 Explain the relationship between ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27002 Interpret the structure and control themes of ISO/IEC 27002 Understand control attributes and intent Support risk treatment and control selection activities Contribute effectively to ISMS implementation and audits
