Course Overview
The DVMS® ISO 27001 Specialist looks at the impact of adapting a principled approach to enterprise risk management framework to better support cybersecurity decisions within the context of the ISO 27001 informative reference.
The course introduces the integration of typical enterprise capabilities with cybersecurity from the perspective of the ISO 27001 informative reference.
The overall approach places these activities into a systems thinking context by introducing the Service Value Management system composed of three aspects, governance, assurance and the Z-X Model.

Topics include:
- Managing Risk in the Digital Age
- Cybersecurity Within a System
- ZX Model Capabilities
- Adapt
- Implement
- Operate and Ongoing Improvement

An amazing instructor who explained the content very clearly and at a very good pace. This was a good balance and approach to learning in a three day intensive period. I found the worked examples very practical and very relatable to the Defence industry sector I work in.
