🛡️ ISO 27001 Lead Auditor (Exam-Prep)

An independent, free exam-preparation course over the publicly published ISO/IEC 27001:2022 requirements (clauses 4-10 and Annex A) and the ISO 19011 auditing guidelines. Visual lessons cover the ISMS, risk assessment and treatment, the Statement of Applicability, audit principles, planning, evidence and sampling, nonconformities and reporting, the certification cycle, and auditor competence and ethics, finishing with a 10-question exam-style final. This is awareness/preparation only over the public syllabus and is NOT the official IRCA/accredited Lead Auditor course or its examination, and implies no affiliation or endorsement. It maps to ISO/IEC 27001 + ISO 19011 (auditing). The course is organized into 12 modules, ending with a final exam (pass mark 70%). It is independent, free exam-preparation training — not an official or accredited review course.
