What is the ISO 27001 for Energy Infrastructure course about?
You're technically fluent and delivery-focused, but decisions about what falls under ISO 27001 controls are made above or outside your team. That creates rework, misaligned priorities, and missed opportunities to optimize for operational resilience.
