Who should attend ISO/IEC 27002 Lead Manager training?
ISO/IEC 27002 Lead Manager training is intended for professionals responsible for selecting, implementing, or maintaining information security controls within an ISO/IEC 27001-aligned ISMS, including ISMS managers, security officers, consultants, and operational control owners.
The ISO/IEC 27002 Lead Manager training is designed for professionals who actively manage information security controls rather than those defining high-level governance or performing audits. It is particularly relevant for individuals accountable for translating risk treatment decisions into effective operational controls.
As ISO/IEC 27001 audits increasingly focus on control effectiveness and evidence quality, organizations need professionals who understand how controls work in practice. Many security failures and audit findings stem from poor implementation, unclear ownership, or ineffective monitoring. This training targets those gaps by equipping practitioners with a structured control management methodology.
Typical participant profiles include:
- ISMS managers maintaining Annex A controls
- Information security officers coordinating multiple control owners
- Risk or compliance consultants supporting remediation programs
- IT and security team members responsible for operational safeguards
- Governance professionals overseeing supplier and incident controls
The course assumes familiarity with basic information security concepts and ISO/IEC 27001.
Participants apply the training directly when redesigning control frameworks, responding to audit findings, supporting certification projects, or improving weak operational controls identified through incidents or risk assessments.
