ISO/IEC 27001
Requirements for an information security management system. Certifiable for organisations.
Cybersecurity
Frameworks, controls and skills for protecting information and systems.
Overview
Cybersecurity: where to start
Cybersecurity training covers the frameworks that organise a security program, the controls that implement it and the technical skills that test it. The right starting point depends on whether you are building a management system, preparing for an audit or developing hands-on skills.
Know the difference
Standard, regulation, certification or training
01
Standard
A published document of requirements or guidance. Organisations are certified against some standards, not others.
02
Regulation or law
Binding rules set by a government or authority. There is no certificate of compliance unless the authority creates one.
03
Professional certification
A credential issued to a person by a certifying body after an exam and, often, proven experience.
04
Training course
Teaching that builds knowledge. Attending a course does not by itself award a certification.

Frequently asked questions
Where should I start?
If you are building a program, start with Cybersecurity Management or ISO/IEC 27001. If you want technical skills, start with the Technical Cybersecurity track.
Is a framework the same as a certification?
No. A framework or standard describes practices. Certification is a separate assessment of an organisation or a person.
