ISO IEC 27001 Lead Auditor
Master the audit techniques and become competent to plan,
conduct, and lead an Information Security Management System (ISMS) audit — and
manage an audit team — using widely recognized principles, procedures, and
techniques.
Organizations invest heavily in protecting their information — but assurance only becomes credible when an independent, competent auditor confirms the controls work. This eLearning training course develops the skills and knowledge you need to perform Information Security Management System (ISMS) audits by applying widely recognized audit principles, procedures, and techniques.
You will learn to plan and carry out internal and external audits in compliance with ISO 19011 and the ISO/IEC 17021-1 certification process, and to manage an audit program, lead an audit team, communicate with customers, and resolve potential conflicts.
Delivered entirely on the myPECB platform, the course pairs animated video lectures with the full training materials, editable exercise files, a case study, and quizzes — so every audit concept is reinforced with practice before you sit the exam.
After acquiring the necessary skills, you can sit the exam and apply for the PECB Certified ISO/IEC 27001 Lead Auditor credential — demonstrating that you have the capabilities and competencies to audit organizations based on best practices.
Why the ISO/IEC 27001 Lead Auditor role matters
A competent lead auditor tests whether an ISMS actually works, turning management claims into evidence-based, defensible conclusions.
You audit to the same internationally recognized principles and certification process used by accredited certification bodies worldwide.
Certification bodies, consultancies, and enterprises all need auditors who can lead a certification audit end to end — that is you.
In this eLearning training course you will acquire the knowledge and skills to plan and carry out internal and external audits in compliance with ISO 19011 and the ISO/IEC 17021-1 certification process.
You will also learn how to master audit techniques and become competent to manage an audit program, lead an audit team, communicate with customers, and resolve any potential conflicts. After completing the course, you can sit the exam and apply for the PECB Certified ISO/IEC 27001 Lead Auditor credential.
