Overview

This course will provide a basic awareness of the principles of technical risk assessment, risk treatment and risk management. The course emphasises that information risk management is part of overall business risk management.

  • To describe the available methods for completing a basic risk assessment
  • To enable delegates to understand the application of security controls to risks and the importance of adequate assurance.
