What is the ISO 27001 for Project Analysts course about?
Projects in regulated environments often stall because control mappings lack clarity or traceability. Teams waste cycles chasing evidence, revising scope, or defending weak linkages between controls and implementation. For Project Analysts, this means being reactive instead of strategic, even when you see the gaps early.
