About ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Awareness, its certificate and enrolment.
Ask SterlingIt is for employees across your organisation, at every level, in organisations that use or are working towards an information security management system. It explains confidentiality, integrity and availability, information assets and risks, and each person's responsibilities at work. No prior knowledge of ISO/IEC 27001 is needed, so it suits new starters as well as experienced staff.
The course is organised in three parts: information and why it matters; the standard, risk and controls; and incidents, review and improvement. Learners learn to explain confidentiality, integrity and availability, recognise information assets and common security risks, understand policies, controls and individual responsibilities, recognise and report incidents, and see how audits and continual improvement support the management system.

No. The Certificate of Completion is a training certificate: it shows that one person completed ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Awareness and reached the pass mark in its final exam. It is not certification of an organisation to ISO/IEC 27001, and Sterling does not certify organisations. An organisation is certified by an independent certification body after that body's own audit.
ISO/IEC 27001:2022 sets the requirements for an information security management system, and its Annex A lists 93 information security controls. ISO/IEC 27002:2022 gives implementation guidance for those controls across four themes: organisational, people, physical and technological. This awareness course introduces the management system; Sterling Academy's ISO/IEC 27002:2022 Information Security Controls course covers the 93 controls in depth.
