Course Overview

The GSDC Certified in InformationSecurity Management (ISO 27001) Foundation by Koenig Original is a comprehensive training program designed to equip professionals with foundational knowledge of information security management systems (ISMS) as defined by ISO/IEC 27001. This course prepares candidates for the official GSDC Certified Information Security Management (ISO 27001) Foundation exam, covering core principles such as risk management, asset classification, access control, and incident response. Ideal for IT auditors, information security officers, and compliance managers, this certification addresses the growing demand for skilled personnel in data protection—over 60% of Fortune 500 companies now require ISO 27001-aligned practices across their operations.

The hands-on lab environment includes guided exercises in configuring secure password policies, implementing device protection measures for laptops and USB drives, and executing simulated phishing awareness campaigns using industry-standard tools. A key practical component involves designing an ISMS framework aligned with ISO 27001 controls, where learners classify organizational assets, define handling procedures, and develop employee training modules on social engineering threats like vishing and smishing—all within a structured digital workspace that mirrors enterprise environments.
