HR teams often sit outside core compliance frameworks, limiting their influence on control design

The situation this course is for

Even strong HR leaders find themselves reacting to security requirements rather than shaping them. Without direct fluency in ISO 27001, it's harder to influence role design, onboarding controls, or audit readiness from the outset.

Who this is for

Senior HR executive influencing security-aware hiring and compliance-aligned team structures

Who this is not for

Individuals seeking general HR certification or entry-level compliance training

What you walk away with

  • Map HR processes directly to ISO 27001 control objectives
  • Lead cross-functional conversations with security teams using precise framework language
  • Build role-specific onboarding playbooks that satisfy A.7.2 and A.7.3 requirements
  • Anticipate auditor questions and shape evidence collection proactively
  • Design hiring profiles that embed compliance ownership from day one
