Programme Modules
What You’ll Learn
The programme comprises three modules, each with a duration differentiated by content depth. Modules can be taken individually or as a full certification track.
Build the foundational security governance awareness and control implementation capability that everything else depends on.
You will learn to identify lapses in organisational security standards, review the adequacy of existing information security controls, introduce and align controls to security policies, implement security protocols across business units, and evaluate technologies that address identified security gaps.
This module establishes the security mindset and baseline vocabulary for both technical and non-technical participants before progressing to risk management and applied controls.
Assessments: case study written assessment and short answers written assessment
Strengthen security administration and operational protection systems with hands-on control implementation across computer and network environments.
You will learn to plan the installation of security hardware and software, manage user access control systems, configure and harden network security infrastructure, investigate security breaches and document findings, facilitate organisation-wide security administration, and implement operational monitoring systems to detect anomalous behaviour and maintain endpoint visibility.
Practical sessions include a live demonstration of BYOD security controls using Mobile Device Management (MDM) tools, covering real-world scenarios such as juice jacking via compromised charging infrastructure and O.MG cable attacks, implemented using FleetDM and CIS benchmark hardening standards. The module also addresses the practical realities of multi-platform support and the cost and availability challenges IT professionals face when deploying security tools at scale.
Assessments: case study written assessment and short answers written assessment
Develop structured cyber risk assessment, treatment strategies and enterprise GRC capability in a single integrated module.
You will learn to identify cyber risks, threats and vulnerabilities across the organisational attack surface, design risk assessment methodologies appropriate to your context, evaluate the business impact of security weaknesses, and implement and prioritise risk treatment measures.
At the enterprise and governance level, you will apply GRC-specific frameworks, including vendor and third-party risk evaluation, regulatory risk mapping and risk maturity assessments, translate security objectives into structured initiatives, design and maintain security programmes, monitor control effectiveness, and align security practices with applicable regulatory standards and governance requirements.

Target Audience
Who Should Attend
This programme is designed for professionals responsible for protecting organisational assets, managing digital risk or driving security governance, regardless of whether they come from a technical or management background.
- IT professionals transitioning into security, risk or governance roles
- Risk and compliance officers who need structured cybersecurity frameworks
- Operations managers overseeing digital systems and business continuity
- Business owners are responsible for data protection and regulatory compliance
- Cybersecurity analysts are building formal governance and GRC capability

Differentiators
What Makes This Programme Different
Most cybersecurity training sits at one of two extremes: technical hacking courses that teach attack techniques without governance context, or dry compliance workshops that cover frameworks without any operational grounding. Neither produces professionals who can actually protect an organisation.
This programme integrates security awareness, enterprise GRC strategy and hands-on applied controls into a single coherent pathway that connects technical understanding to business decision-making.
What specifically sets this apart:
- Risk-based security planning that connects vulnerabilities to measurable business impact
- Dedicated GRC module covering regulatory alignment, risk appetite, vendor risk and enterprise oversight
- Practical applied controls module with real-world computer and network security implementation
- Incident investigation, including live BYOD and device security scenarios
- Competency validated through structured assessment and project presentation
