Project

The course project

Optional practice that ends in the kind of job the course prepares you for, with the documents that go with it.

About 14 hours

ISMS starter pack for a SaaS analytics company: scope, risk register, Statement of Applicability, audit procedure and audit report

Act as the ISMS lead for an 85-person software company that must be ready for an ISO/IEC 27001:2022 stage 1 audit in six months. Write the scope and context statement, run the risk assessment, build the Statement of Applicability, write the internal audit procedure, and audit one area and report the findings. The sample pack shows each document for a fictional company, Harbourline Analytics.

Sample document pack, 5 documents, filled in for the scenario

  • PlanISMS scope and context statement
  • Risk registerInformation security risk register
  • RegisterStatement of Applicability (extract)
  • ProcedureInternal audit procedure
  • ReportInternal audit report: access control

Read inside the course and download as a workbook. The project is optional practice, marked when you submit it; the certificate needs only the modules and the final assessment.

Tools

Software, hardware and lessons

Software

A spreadsheet (LibreOffice Calc or Google Sheets is free) for the risk register and the Statement of Applicability, and a document editor for policies and procedures. You do not need to buy the standard to follow the course, but anyone implementing it for real should hold a licensed copy of ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and its 2024 amendment.

Hardware

None.

Who it is for

Intermediate. For IT, security, compliance, quality and operations staff, consultants and graduates who will help an organisation implement or maintain ISO/IEC 27001. Basic IT and security vocabulary helps; no previous management system experience is needed. Cybersecurity Fundamentals for Beginners is a good first step if you are new to security.

FAQ

Common questions

What is the ISO 27001 implementation course?

It is a free-to-learn course that shows you how to build an information security management system (ISMS) to ISO/IEC 27001:2022, step by step: context and scope, leadership and policy, risk assessment and treatment, the Statement of Applicability, the 93 Annex A controls, documented information, internal audit, management review, corrective action and the stage 1 and stage 2 certification audits.

Who is this ISO 27001 course for?

IT and security staff, compliance and quality officers, consultants and graduates who will implement or maintain an ISMS, and managers who have been asked to get their organisation certified. Basic IT and security vocabulary helps; no previous ISO management system experience is needed.

Which version of ISO 27001 does the course teach?

ISO/IEC 27001:2022 with Amendment 1:2024 (climate action changes), which was the current version when the course was checked on 11 October 2026; the transition from the 2013 edition ended on 31 October 2025. The course also uses ISO/IEC 27002:2022 for the controls and ISO/IEC 27005:2022 for risk, and paraphrases the standards rather than reproducing their text.

What is a Statement of Applicability in ISO 27001?

The Statement of Applicability (SoA) is the document that lists every Annex A control, says whether it applies, justifies including or excluding it, and records whether it is implemented. The course shows how to build it from the risk treatment decisions so that each row points to a risk, a contract or a legal requirement.

Is this an ISO 27001 lead implementer or lead auditor certification?

No. The course covers the knowledge used in implementation and internal audit work, but its certificate is a verifiable certificate of completion from EDWartens, not a lead implementer or lead auditor credential, and it does not certify any organisation. Organisations are certified by independent certification bodies.

How long does the course take, and is it free?

About 13 hours of video and around 19 hours in total with the notes, worked problems and practice tasks, at your own pace. Every module, the notes, the optional ISMS starter-pack project and the final assessment are free to learn.

What certificate does the ISO 27001:2022 Implementation: Build an ISMS course give?

A verifiable certificate of completion, issued when you finish the modules and pass the 15-question final at 60 percent. It has a unique certificate number, a QR code and a public verification page that shows the course, the modules covered and your final score.

What jobs does ISO 27001 implementation knowledge lead to?

It is the core knowledge for roles such as ISMS coordinator, information security officer, GRC analyst, compliance analyst and internal auditor, and it supports consultants who help companies prepare for certification. Suppliers to banks, governments and large enterprises are often required to hold ISO/IEC 27001.

Is the ISO 27001:2022 Implementation: Build an ISMS course free in India, and what does the certificate cost?

Yes. Learning costs ₹0 in India: every module, the written notes, the practice tasks and the final assessment, with no card and no trial period. The only paid item is the optional EDWartens Certificate of Completion, ₹599 including GST for this intermediate course, paid in rupees through Razorpay, and only if you want it after passing the final assessment.
