What is the ISO 27001 for Public Sector Leaders course about?
Even senior contributors find their expertise siloed when they're seen as implementers, not decision-shapers. When ISO 27001 audits come around, the same people do the work, but others get credit for the outcomes. Without visibility, influence defaults to those who speak loudest, not those who know most.
