Updated: August 20, 2023.<\/em><\/p>\n

In the last four years I\u2019ve been preparing and presenting a lot of trainings for ISO 27001<\/a>\u00a0Lead Auditor. At the end, participants understand that this is just the beginning of the journey to reach the \u201cend of the stairs,\u201d and become a professional in ISMS (Information Security Management System) auditing.\u00a0 This training is not like most of the others, where you complete training, receive your certificate, and it is done \u2013 you are the big guy. Lead Auditor training needs more than this: a lot of experience, a lot of mistakes, and a lot of hard work to become a real professional in auditing an ISMS.<\/p>\n

    What does this training consist of?<\/h2>\n

    First of all, you will start learning and understanding the meaning of management systems. Usually, the participant has a much different approach and ideas on how such systems work. This is the main thing if you want to continue with the development of your career in management systems. It is a simple way of doing business based on certain rules and guidance, documented policies and procedures, responsibilities and authorities.<\/p>\n

    Further on, you will learn about the HLS (High Level Structure) of the management systems, mandatory requirements, and the risk-based approach. Use this free\u00a0Checklist of mandatory documentation required by ISO 27001<\/a> to see the mandatory documents required by the standard.<\/p>\n

    It will continue with the Annex A controls.<\/p>\n

    Finally, at the end, attendees deal with the audit techniques together with the audit requirements to fulfill the audit in a professional manner.<\/p>\n

    Note that there is also Lead Implementer training, which is similar to the Lead Auditor training. However, there are significant differences between them, and you can learn about them in the article Lead Auditor Course vs. Lead Implementer Course \u2013 Which one to go for?<\/a>
