Continual improvement is included to reflect corrective action and system maturity, and audit preparation is included to reflect certification readiness.In the list provided, Domain 5 repeats “Implementing a SCSMS based on ISO 28000” rather than specifying a distinct area. The course states the exam is available online in English with a duration of three hours. The page also contains a conflicting line naming “ISO 22301 Lead Implementer” for exam availability, while the rest of the exam section refers to ISO 28000 Lead Implementer.
