What is the ISO 27001 for Learning and Development course about?

L&D leaders in regulated environments often face skepticism when rolling out compliance training, not because content is poor, but because the connection to control frameworks isn’t immediately evident. Without direct line-of-sight from learning objectives to ISO 27001 controls or audit outcomes, initiatives can stall on justification alone.
