Introduction
The ISO/IEC 27002 Foundation Certification (ISO 27002 F) is awarded by the Global Institute of Professional Management Certification (GIPMC). It confirms that you understand information security controls: what each control is for, how controls are grouped and how they are chosen to treat risk. ISO/IEC 27002 gives guidance on controls and is often used with ISO/IEC 27001, the requirements standard that organizations certify their information security management system (ISMS) against.
ISO/IEC 27002 is published by ISO and the IEC, and this credential is awarded by GIPMC, not by ISO.
GIPMC aims it at security and IT staff, ISMS team members, risk and compliance professionals, internal auditors, control owners and business owners who handle sensitive data.
