PCIRM Benefits:

Our business relies on information and the PCIRM is designed to help us protect this information. This course gives us the knowledge to deliver a robust system in line with the approaches recommended in ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27005 standards. And it gives us the skills to keep our company up-to-date with UK legislation and international best practice frameworks – reducing or removing threats specific to our company and customer data.

If we understand the scope of the ISO/IEC 27001 standard, we will also understand how it can impact the way we manage our company and customer data – for the better.
