  • CA Plan

To do all the above things you need the Training and awareness on ISO 27001. So, we can say the root of compliance of ISMS is training. Without training you cannot expect real compliance of ISO 27001.

Actually if you are company owner then LA training is not required for compliance of 27001 for your staffs. Overview and Internal audit training is enough. It is for two days training. 5-6 members can be included in this group training. It will cost you only 45-50 thousand taka.

If you want to do  work as an 27001 part time auditor then LA training is required. It will cost you around 50,000 taka. it is 5 day long course.

If you hire an ISO 27001 Consultant he will train your staffs and will help you to prepare all the documents, audit checklist  and show you how to implement isms requirement in the organization.
