Here's
how we answer them.
ISO/IEC 27001 is the international standard for an information security management system (ISMS), the framework an organization uses to protect its information and prove it to customers and auditors. The PECB Certified ISO/IEC 27001 Lead Implementer credential shows you can plan, build, operate and improve an ISMS that meets the 2022 edition of the standard and is ready for certification.
Information security managers, compliance and GRC leads, IT directors, consultants, and anyone who has been told to get the organization ISO 27001 certified. If you will own the ISMS rather than audit it, this is the course.
PECB asks for a general knowledge of ISMS concepts and ISO/IEC 27001. Prior certification is not required, and the course walks through the standard clause by clause.
Day 1 introduces ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and initiating the ISMS project. Day 2 builds the implementation plan, including risk assessment and control selection. Day 3 implements the ISMS: documentation, awareness, operations. Day 4 covers monitoring, continual improvement and preparing for the certification audit. The four days follow PECB’s official course structure, with the exam at the end.
The exam covers 7 competency domains: fundamental principles and concepts of an ISMS; ISMS requirements; planning an ISMS implementation; implementing an ISMS; monitoring and measurement; continual improvement; preparing for the certification audit. Questions are weighted across the domains, and the course is organized so every domain is taught before you sit the exam.
The exam has 80 multiple-choice questions, a mix of standalone and scenario-based, and lasts 3 hours. It is open-book, and the passing score is 70%. Online exams are graded instantly.

Yes. The course and exam are built on ISO/IEC 27001:2022, which reorganized Annex A into 93 controls across four themes and added 11 new controls. If you learned the standard on the 2013 edition, the control set and the Statement of Applicability you produce look different now.
Lead Implementer builds and runs the information security management system inside an organization. Lead Auditor plans and conducts audits of one against the standard, following ISO 19011. Many professionals hold both; start with the one that matches the job you have. Compare all of our PECB courses side by side on the PECB training courses page.
As of 2026 the current edition is ISO/IEC 27001:2022, and that is what this course teaches and the PECB exam tests. Amendment 1, published in 2024, added climate change wording to the context clause but did not change the controls.
