Five skill areas with five questions each, drawn from a bank of 10 per area so a retake brings new questions: ISMS Fundamentals and Context (Purpose and structure, Scope and Leadership); Risk Assessment and Treatment (Risk method, Treatment options and Risk owners); Annex A Controls (Organisational controls, People and physical controls and Technological controls); Implementing and Embedding the ISMS (Project planning, Documentation and Awareness and operations); Monitoring, Audit and Certification (Measurement and internal audit, Management review and improvement and Certification process).

A Lead Implementer plans and leads the implementation of an information security management system (ISMS) that meets ISO/IEC 27001 — setting the scope, running risk assessment and treatment, selecting Annex A controls, writing the Statement of Applicability, training staff, and preparing the organisation for certification audits.

Annex A of ISO/IEC 27001:2022 lists 93 controls in four themes: organisational (37), people (8), physical (14) and technological (34). The 2022 edition added 11 new controls, such as threat intelligence, cloud security, data masking and secure coding.
