ISO 27001 Lead Implementer and Auditor, CISM, CISA, PDPA Compliance Officer, and RMiT workshop — for the teams who govern and audit Malaysian information security programmes.
Three regulatory events converged between 2023 and 2025 to make structured GRC training a boardroom obligation rather than a nice-to-have. Bank Negara's RMiT revision raised cybersecurity control expectations across Malaysia's entire financial sector. The Cyber Security Act 2024 (Act 854) imposed new NCII operator obligations with statutory penalties for non-compliance. And the PDPA 2024 amendments introduced mandatory 72-hour breach notification and DPO appointment requirements that affect nearly every Malaysian enterprise.
For organisations navigating all three simultaneously — a common situation for Malaysian banks, GLCs, and listed companies — the credential and competency gap in GRC teams has become a measurable risk. BNM technology risk examiners, external auditors, and vendor security assessments now routinely probe whether the people managing compliance are formally qualified or self-taught.
nCrypt GRC courses close that gap with credentials from the most widely-recognised international bodies (PECB, ISACA) and a Malaysian regulatory overlay — RMiT clause mapping, PDPA 2024 scenario exercises, and BNM examiner expectation frameworks — that you will not find in a generic global provider's course outline.
Five-day PECB-accredited course teaching the full ISMS lifecycle — from scope definition and risk assessment through Annex A controls, Statement of Applicability, internal audit, and the certification audit cycle. PECB Lead Implementer exam on Day 5 afternoon.
Five-day PECB course teaching how to plan, manage, and report on an ISO 27001 ISMS audit — internal or third-party. Covers ISO 19011 audit principles, evidence collection, non-conformity writing, and the certification audit process under ISO/IEC 17021. PECB Lead Auditor exam on Day 5.
Intensive exam preparation for the ISACA CISM credential — the benchmark management-level security certification for CISOs, information security managers, and GRC leads. Covers all four CISM domains. ISACA exam voucher not included; candidates register directly with ISACA.
Exam preparation for the ISACA CISA — the gold standard IS audit and assurance credential. Covers all five CISA domains with emphasis on the IS audit process, governance and management of IT, information systems acquisition/development/implementation, IS operations, and information asset protection.
One-day compliance bootcamp for Malaysian organisations subject to the Personal Data Protection Act 2010 as amended by the Personal Data Protection (Amendment) Act 2024. Covers DPO appointment obligations, breach notification timelines (72 hours to PDPC), cross-border transfer rules, and the 7 PDPA principles applied to common Malaysian business scenarios.
Two-day practitioner workshop for Malaysian financial institutions mapping their controls against the Bank Negara RMiT policy document. Day 1 covers governance, technology operations, and cybersecurity controls. Day 2 is a guided self-assessment workshop where participants complete a RMiT gap register for their own institution. Outputs: documented gap register and prioritised remediation plan.

CISA is an audit credential — it validates your ability to assess, test, and report on information systems. CISM is a management credential — it validates your ability to design, govern, and manage an information security programme. If you are in internal audit or assurance, take CISA first. If you are in security management, programme leadership, or the CISO track, take CISM first. Many Malaysian BFSI professionals eventually hold both.
Yes — it is one of the most directly relevant credentials for internal IS auditors at Malaysian banks. BNM technology risk examiners increasingly expect IS audit teams to demonstrate structured ISMS audit competency. The Lead Auditor credential and the discipline of ISO 19011-compliant audit methodology directly satisfies that expectation and is recognised across the banking sector.
Yes. The course is built on the PDPA 2010 as amended by the Personal Data Protection (Amendment) Act 2024, which introduced mandatory breach notification to the Personal Data Protection Commissioner within 72 hours, mandatory appointment of DPOs in certain sectors, expanded data subject rights, and new cross-border transfer controls. These are the highest-impact changes for Malaysian businesses since the original Act came into force.
RMiT applies to all BNM-licensed institutions: commercial banks, Islamic banks, investment banks, licensed insurers, takaful operators, licensed e-money issuers, digital banks, and development financial institutions (DFIs). Payment System operators subject to BNM oversight also use RMiT as a reference. The workshop is designed for any of these entities, and we tailor the gap-register template to your institution type.
Yes — this is one of our most popular in-house combinations for Malaysian companies preparing for their first ISO 27001 certification while simultaneously addressing PDPA 2024 compliance. Day 1 runs the PDPA Compliance Officer curriculum; Day 2 is ISO 27001 Foundation. Participants leave with both credentials and an integrated understanding of how PDPA fits within an ISMS framework.
