IT security, governance and the board
A one-day workshop
Although most organisations now have a clear focus on the need for effective IT security, the external landscape is continually evolving and board members are at risk of complacency without a regular update on the range of IT governance risks to which they may be exposed.
Learning objectives
- Ensure that you have properly addressed the full range of risks around IT security.
- Highlight – and rectify – any gaps in your IT governance.
Who should attend?
This overview workshop has been designed specifically for board members.
Format
- Usually delivered as a one-day session
- Can also be delivered as a high-impact, bite-sized boardroom briefing session or as a series of more detailed half-day sessions on different aspects of the topic
- Highly interactive, with plenty of discussion around different scenarios and issues of specific concern to you and your organisation
