Who should attend?

ISMS project managers, internal information security officers, IT and compliance managers, GRC consultants, DPOs preparing for ISO-aligned PDPA compliance, and anyone responsible for designing, deploying or maintaining an ISMS. Most attendees come from BFSI, GLCs, oil & gas, and tech companies preparing for ISO 27001 certification.
