Dean Jenkins
The trainer was really knowledgeable in the field of IT security and made gave a very lively presentation of treads and vulnerabilities and how a ISMS in accordance with ISO 27001 is able to deal with these. The training was interestingly presented from the beginning to the end and had not a single boring moment. Mike is a great trainer who I definitely recommend to others.
