What is the ISO 27001 for Accounts Payable Leaders course about?

Many finance leaders treat ISO 27001 compliance as a one-off exercise, a checklist to endure, not a capability to build. This leaves them reactive, over-documenting, and disconnected from the systems they’re meant to protect. The cost isn’t just in hours lost, but in missed chances to turn process rigor into professional leverage.
