ISO IEC 27002 Toolkit
This implementation toolkit equips information security practitioners and compliance leads with structured frameworks, templates, and workflows for establishing or improving an information security control environment. Upon completion, participants receive a certificate issued by The Art of Service.
Executive Overview
Organizations face increasing pressure to implement consistent, auditable information security controls. Many teams lack standardized processes, leading to gaps in compliance, inefficient audits, and inconsistent risk treatment. This toolkit provides structured frameworks, proven workflows, and reference templates that practitioners use to build, assess, and maintain an ISO IEC 27002-aligned control environment. It supports both new implementations and ongoing improvement cycles without requiring external consultants.

- Develop a comprehensive control implementation roadmap using the 144-chapter playbook
- Conduct a full control gap assessment using the 994+ case-based requirements workbook
- Establish a control inventory with assigned owners, objectives, and testing procedures
- Generate a pre-built assessment dashboard to track control status and maturity
- Create a 30-day rollout plan with weekly milestones and role-specific actions
- Perform a maturity evaluation across five core capability domains

The 994+ Requirements Workbook
The self-assessment workbook is organized across 7 process areas: Access Control, Cryptography, Physical Security, Operations Security, Human Resource Security, Organizational Security, and Supplier Relationships. Practitioners use it to identify gaps, build improvement plans, and measure progress over time. Example questions include: 'Is multi-factor authentication enforced for all administrative accounts?', 'Are cryptographic keys rotated according to a defined schedule?', and 'Are security responsibilities documented in job descriptions for all relevant roles?'. Each requirement is phrased as a verifiable yes/no or case-based item to support consistent evaluation.
The 20+ Templates
The toolkit includes editable templates in Excel and Word for control register, policy documentation, risk treatment plan, control testing worksheet, evidence collection log, audit response form, implementation roadmap, maturity assessment, stakeholder communication plan, and more. These are designed for direct use in real-world environments and can be adapted to fit internal formatting and branding requirements.
Course Outcomes and Certification
Upon completion, you will have produced 3 concrete deliverables built using the toolkit: a completed control gap assessment, a 30-day rollout plan with assigned actions, and a finalized control inventory with testing procedures. The Art of Service issues a certificate of completion confirming demonstrated knowledge and applied capability in information security control implementation.

Common Questions
Q: Is this for established or new information security programs?
A: Both. The workbook helps assess current state. The playbook covers both greenfield and improvement scenarios.
Q: How is this different from ISO IEC 27001 lead implementer training?
A: This toolkit focuses on practical implementation with ready-to-use templates and a detailed control-by-control guide, whereas lead implementer courses are exam-focused and less prescriptive in deliverables.
Q: What format are the templates in?
A: Editable Excel and Word. You can adapt them to your own use.
Q: Is this a single user license?
A: Yes, one purchase is for one individual user. For organization-wide access, reach out via reply for volume pricing.
