The situation this course is for
Global technology services face growing fragmentation in service delivery. Without a unified framework, CISOs spend cycles reconciling inconsistencies instead of driving value. ISO 20000 offers the blueprint, but only if implemented with clarity and authority.
Who this is for
Global CISO in high-growth technology or managed services with cross-regional governance responsibility
Who this is not for
Single-market IT managers, junior auditors, non-technical compliance staff, or practitioners without cross-functional scope
What you walk away with
- Ability to lead ISO 20000 deployments across multiple business units
- Standardized service delivery templates adaptable by region
- Clear governance boundaries between central policy and local execution
- Proven methods to align security controls with service management workflows
- Increased influence in operational decision-making beyond the security domain
