Diagnostic
A calibrated baseline test, taken solo, that maps exactly where you stand across planning an ISMS implementation, implementing the ISMS, and core ISO/IEC 27001 principles and concepts before you study anything.
About the ISO 27001 LI exam
The PECB ISO/IEC 27001 Lead Implementer exam validates that you can plan, implement, monitor and improve an information security management system based on ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and prepare an organization for certification. It suits security managers, consultants and project leads. The current exam has 80 open-book multiple-choice questions with three options each, standalone and scenario-based, in 3 hours, with 70% needed to pass; older material describing a 12-question essay exam is out of date. Planning the implementation is the largest domain at 22.5%. The full Lead Implementer credential also requires five years of professional experience and 300 project hours. Edureify's plan budgets roughly 60–80 hours of study.
The Edureify Readiness System
Edureify runs on one loop: a Diagnostic maps exactly where you stand across planning an ISMS implementation, implementing the ISMS, and core ISO/IEC 27001 principles and concepts before you study anything, an adaptive Roadmap turns that into a day-by-day plan weighted toward your actual gaps, a self-paced Practice Loop of questions, mock exams, and spaced review builds mastery topic by topic, and an Intervention layer steps in the moment your progress stalls. Every session feeds back into a live Readiness Score that predicts when you'll be exam-ready and names the specific topics still holding you back — not a completion percentage frozen at the end of a course.
Adaptive roadmap
A day-by-day plan built from your diagnostic and rebuilt automatically as you progress — weighted toward your actual gaps, not a generic syllabus.
Practice loop
Practice questions, mock exams, and spaced-repetition review, self-paced, with mastery tracked across planning an ISMS implementation, implementing the ISMS, and core ISO/IEC 27001 principles and concepts.
Readiness prediction
A live score with a predicted ready-by date and the specific topics still dragging it down, recalculated after every session.
Certifying a team for ISO 27001 LI, not just yourself?
Edureify also runs as a team platform for L&D leaders: every team member gets the same self-paced diagnostic-to-readiness loop, and managers get a live dashboard showing each person's Readiness Score, predicted ready-by date, and what's specifically holding them back — plus a portfolio view for reporting on ISO 27001 LI readiness across the whole team.
