ISO/IEC 27005 gives guidance on how to identify, assess, and treat information security risks. It supports organisations running an information security management system by providing a structured way to think about threats, vulnerabilities, impact, and treatment choices. The standard does not force one method; instead, it helps you select an approach that matches your context and maturity. It also encourages regular review, so risk decisions stay relevant.

If you work in security, IT, governance, compliance, audit, or risk, the course fits well. In Dubai and the UAE, it is especially useful for professionals supporting ISO 27001 programs, vendor risk reviews, internal audits, and security reporting.
