Description
What is this course about?
Integrating ISO 27001, ISO 27002, and ISO 27701 with the NIST Cybersecurity Framework into a unified governance program requires a structured, repeatable approach. In this course, you follow a 16-step blueprint for integrating ISO 27001/27002/27701 with the NIST Cybersecurity Framework. Explore the essentials of scoping, risk assessment, control mapping, cloud and privacy safeguards, incident response, and continual improvement—translating each step into clear, actionable tasks. Along the way, learn how to build a library of customizable templates, workflows, and checklists for an audit-ready governance program.
Objectives
What will I be able to do by the end of this course?
Analyze your organization’s risk landscape to scope and map controls, governance gaps and priorities.
Implement automated workflows using a 16-step blueprint to integrate cloud security and privacy safeguards.
Evaluate control effectiveness by applying incident response and continual improvement.
Create a fully audit-ready cybersecurity governance program.
