Integrated Information Management System Foundation Training

Understand the critical fundamentals of Information Management Systems

International standards, such as ISO 27001 and ISO 27701, provide organisations with confidence that operations in information security, privacy and IT management are effective in achieving business objectives. However, adopting additional systems can quickly challenge any organisation with unanticipated complexities and overheads. By integrating your information management systems, you can ensure that standards you support operate in harmony and minimise the cost to business.

Invest in your capabilities

Vital Advisory’s two day Integrated Information Management System (IIMS) Foundation training – delivered online – will introduce you to the key concepts in information management systems and how to link and coordinate them to:

+ ensure effectiveness
+ minimise costs and effort
+ support essential compliance actions
+ mature and continually improve your management systems

Although aimed at Foundational level, the course includes methods and insights which will reward experienced risk, assurance, and compliance professionals as well.

The course includes a Foundation Certificate exam.
