What is the ISO 27001 for Project Test Leads course about?

Project Test Leads in regulated services are increasingly responsible for proving security control effectiveness, but manual, ad-hoc documentation processes create delays, rework, and inconsistent artefacts, especially under audit pressure. The expectation to 'just know' how to structure compliant outputs slows delivery and increases scrutiny.
