Course Overview

The EXIN Information Security Foundation ISO/IEC 27001 (ISFS) course provides a comprehensive introduction to information security principles based on the globally recognized ISO/IEC 27001 standard. Designed for entry-level IT professionals, this certification prepares individuals for the ISFS exam and serves roles such as IT Support Staff, Junior Security Analysts, and Compliance Officers. Candidates gain foundational knowledge in core domains including information reliability, threat and risk management, security controls, and compliance with legislation and standards. With over 40,000 professionals certified worldwide, EXIN’s ISFS credential is adopted by organizations across finance, healthcare, and government sectors seeking to strengthen their information security posture through standardized best practices.

Participants engage with key concepts such as access control, incident management, business continuity, and technical safeguards like encryption and virtual private networks (VPNs), all aligned with ISO/IEC 27001 and 27002 frameworks. While the course does not involve traditional hands-on labs using platforms like AWS or Azure, it emphasizes practical understanding through real-world scenarios, case studies, and risk analysis exercises. Learners evaluate threats, classify information assets, and apply organizational, physical, and technical controls within simulated enterprise environments. A central project involves conducting a basic risk assessment using qualitative and quantitative methods, reinforcing how policies, audits, and the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) model support effective Information Security Management Systems (ISMS).

Earning the EXIN Information Security Foundation ISO/IEC 27001 (ISFS) certification validates a candidate’s ability to contribute to secure IT environments and serves as a stepping stone to advanced credentials like ISO/IEC 27001 Lead Implementer or Auditor. Recognized internationally, the ISFS certification aligns with the European e-Competence Framework and supports career progression in cybersecurity and compliance. Certified professionals report an average salary increase of 15–20% when transitioning into security-focused roles. Koenig Solutions enhances preparation with official EXIN courseware, expert instruction, and a Guaranteed-to-Run batch schedule, ensuring learners master Bloom’s levels 1 and 2 (Remembering and Understanding) required for the 40-question, 60-minute exam.
