With the implementation training you will be able to help your organisation implement and maintain an information security management system. You will be trained to help the organisation stay compliant with local and international data requirements, saving the organisation time, costs, and unnecessary fines.

The implementation training is only applicable if you are interested in establishing, implementing, and maintaining an ISMS for an organisation.
