ISO/IEC 27034 Application Security Foundation Overview
Organizations need professionals who can prove competence in application security with a recognized credential. You need capabilities to establish Organization Normative Frameworks, validate Application Security Controls, assess application security risks, implement Targeted Levels of Trust, and demonstrate compliance with ISO/IEC 27034 requirements. The standard covers key concepts like the Organization Normative Framework (ONF) and Application Security Controls (ASCs), providing guidance on managing security risks across the application life cycle.
This course transforms ISO/IEC 27034 knowledge into practical implementation expertise. You will learn to describe the structure and components of the ISO/IEC 27034 series, identify key security principles including confidentiality, integrity, and availability, explain roles in establishing ONF and Application Normative Framework (ANF), validate application security requirements, assess security risks using structured methodologies, verify security controls against standard requirements, and use KPIs to support continual improvement of application security practices. The course includes hands-on exercises with real application security scenarios, not just theoretical coverage.
We acknowledge the real constraints you face: complex regulatory environments, resource limitations, competing development priorities, and pressure to deliver applications quickly. This course is designed for professionals who must deliver secure applications under these conditions while maintaining compliance with international standards.
