This leads to misaligned processes, last-minute fixes during audits, and missed opportunities for HR to lead on data governance. The gap isn't knowledge, it's access. Without shared language and structured influence, talent teams remain reactive, even when they hold key data touchpoints. Worse, practitioners are.

The situation this course is for

HR professionals often sit outside core compliance discussions, even though recruitment data is central to information security. This leads to misaligned processes, last-minute fixes during audits, and missed opportunities for HR to lead on data governance. The gap isn't knowledge, it's access. Without shared language and structured influence, talent teams remain reactive, even when they hold key data touchpoints. Worse, practitioners are excluded from cross-functional initiatives not because of capability, but because they haven’t had the opportunity to speak the framework fluently.

Who this is for

HR practitioners in global services firms who interface with compliance-critical data and want to expand their sphere of influence beyond recruitment into risk and governance discussions

Who this is not for

Individuals looking for generic HR upskilling or compliance awareness without actionable integration into ISO 27001 processes
