ISO 27001 Training
ISO 27001 training covers auditing and implementing an information security management system to ISO/IEC 27001. MEGADEMİ delivers 4 ISO/IEC 27001 courses across auditor, implementer and specialist levels, online, in-person and blended.
About ISO/IEC 27001
ISO/IEC 27001 is the international standard for information security management systems. It requires risk assessment and risk treatment, a statement of applicability against the Annex A control set, security objectives, competence and awareness, monitoring, internal audit and improvement.
The 2022 edition restructured the Annex A controls into four themes — organisational, people, physical and technological — which changed statements of applicability and audit checklists across the industry.
Because the standard sits close to technical practice, MEGADEMİ's information security catalogue extends beyond auditor and implementer training into specialist manager and examiner programmes covering areas such as network, application, cloud and privacy controls.
Which edition of ISO/IEC 27001 do the courses cover?
ISO/IEC 27001:2022 is the current edition and replaced ISO/IEC 27001:2013; its Annex A control set was restructured into four themes. Certification audits are now carried out against the 2022 edition.
Every course title states the edition it covers, so you can confirm the version before you book.
Where it applies
- Software, SaaS and technology services
- Financial services and insurance
- Healthcare and health data processors
- Public sector and critical infrastructure
- Any supplier answering customer security questionnaires or contractual security clauses

Internal Auditor
About internal auditor trainingChoosing a level
The training discipline decides what you will be able to do afterwards. Read the discipline pages if you are not sure which level fits your role.
| Internal Auditor | Lead Auditor | Lead Implementer | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Audit your own organisation's management system | Plan and lead audits, including audits of other organisations | Build, run and improve the management system itself |
| Audit party | First-party (internal) audits | First, second and — where the standard is certifiable — third-party audits | Not an auditing role; often the auditee |
| Typical length | 2–3 days | 5 days | 3–5 days |
| Core skills | Clause interpretation, checklists, interviewing, finding write-up | Audit programme design, team leadership, opening and closing meetings, report ownership | Gap analysis, documented information, process design, implementation planning |
| Assessment | Workshops and a written assessment | Continuous assessment, audit simulation and a written examination | Workshops, implementation project work and a written assessment |
| Usual prerequisite | Awareness of the standard | Knowledge of the standard plus some audit exposure | Knowledge of the standard and of the organisation's processes |
How the training is delivered
| Format | How it runs | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Live online | Scheduled virtual classroom with a trainer, workshops in breakout groups | Individuals and distributed teams; no travel |
| Classroom | In-person cohort at a scheduled venue | Delegates who prefer face-to-face role-play and interviewing practice |
| Blended | Self-paced standard interpretation before live audit-technique sessions | Delegates balancing training with operational work |
| In-house / corporate | One organisation, own cohort, own processes and documents used as case material | Whole audit teams; consistent method and checklists across a department |
Course completion certificate or personnel certification?
Completing a MEGADEMİ course gives you a course completion certificate: documentary evidence that you attended the programme and met its assessment criteria. It is issued by MEGADEMİ.
Personnel certification is different. It is granted by a personnel certification body — for example Exemplar Global — against a published auditor category, and it assesses more than training: applicants normally have to evidence audit experience, pass the scheme's examination requirements and apply to the body directly. No training provider can grant it on the body's behalf.
MEGADEMI-EUROTECH LLC is an Exemplar Global Certified Training Provider. That is a statement about the provider and its training, not a statement that any individual course automatically confers a personal auditor certification.
| Course completion certificate | Personnel certification | |
|---|---|---|
| Issued by | MEGADEMİ | A personnel certification body such as Exemplar Global |
| What it evidences | Attendance and successful assessment on the course | Competence against a published auditor category |
| Typical requirements | Complete the course and pass its assessment | Training, examination and documented audit experience, plus an application to the body |
| Renewal | Not applicable | Set by the certification scheme, usually with ongoing evidence of practice |

Internal auditor to audit your own ISMS, lead auditor to lead audits or audit other organisations, lead implementer to build the ISMS and its risk treatment. Specialist manager programmes suit people who own a specific control domain.
