Frequently Asked Questions

Get instant answers to common questions about this course from our expert trainers.

What is the ISO 27001 Foundation certification and what does it validate?

The ISO 27001 Foundation certification validates that a professional understands the structure, principles, and management logic of an Information Security Management System (ISMS) based on ISO/IEC 27001:2022. It confirms the ability to interpret the standard and explain how governance, risk management, controls, audits, and continual improvement fit together within an ISMS.

““Foundation-level training is where people finally stop treating ISO 27001 as a checklist and start seeing it as a management system with governance logic behind every clause.””

Who should take ISO 27001 Foundation training?

ISO 27001 Foundation training is designed for professionals who need to understand how an ISMS works without implementing or auditing it. This includes managers, consultants, compliance staff, IT professionals, and anyone involved in information security governance or certification projects.

““Most people involved in ISO 27001 projects are neither implementers nor auditors, yet they influence success every day. Foundation training gives them a common language.””

What are the prerequisites for ISO 27001 Foundation certification?

There are no formal prerequisites for ISO 27001 Foundation certification. The course is designed for professionals with general organizational or management experience, and basic familiarity with information security concepts is helpful but not required.

““We see people from legal, procurement, and operations succeed in Foundation training because it’s about governance logic, not security engineering.””

What is the ISO 27001 Foundation exam format and difficulty level?

The ISO 27001 Foundation exam is a 1-hour, closed-book exam administered under the PECB Examination and Certification Programme. It tests knowledge of ISMS concepts, ISO 27001 requirements, and management system principles rather than practical implementation skills.

““People fail this exam when they memorize slides instead of understanding how the ISMS actually works as a system.””
