Reviews
I needed a good ISO 27001 Lead Auditor training, and I was lucky to have found Vinsys. The trainer was able to explain the concepts of audit using real-life situations, and this made even the complicated sections well understood. The research work was well-organized, and updating it was not difficult. The mock audits and revision workshops, in particular, were a big help to me, as they were so encouraging that I did not feel afraid to take the exam. I will advise Vinsys to any person who is keen on becoming a certified Lead Auditor.
Kabiru AbiolaIT auditors
I was very nervous before enrolling, as I found auditing to be quite complicated. However, Vinsys is extremely simple to follow since day one. The trainers are very patient, highly experienced, and clear up all the doubts. What I loved most was the fact that they deconstruct the process of audit planning and reporting through real-life projects. The constructive criticism I received on my mock audit activities was exactly what I needed to identify areas for improvement, and it gave me the confidence that I would be prepared for the actual audit cases.
Joseph VictorInformation security professionals
It was a hundred percent worth my time and money. I also liked the manner in which Vinsys has structured the sessions using real-life case studies and interactive discussions that made it very practical and interesting. The trainer did not make us memorize the audit clauses and reporting standards, but we understood them. Another thing I liked was how much they concentrate on exam preparation by providing mock tests, revision, and a lot of practice questions, so that you don't freak out when the actual exam comes.
Usman SunusiRisk managers
I work in IT compliance, and having completed the ISO 27001 Lead Auditor training with Vinsys, I am now much more comfortable conducting audits independently. The trainer provided useful tips and examples that cannot be found in textbooks. The support team was extremely helpful, either by rescheduling a session or providing me with additional materials when I needed them. If you're looking for actual guidance, with personal attention and hands-on learning in the field, I would recommend Vinsys without hesitation.
