ITECH2506 Cybersecurity governance, risk & compliance
Cybersecurity Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) are essential components of any organisation's approach to managing its digital security posture. In this unit, these components will be covered in detail. In the governance part, students will learn about frameworks, policies, procedures, and processes that guide the overall management of cybersecurity within an organisation, e.g., establishing roles and responsibilities, defining goals and objectives, and ensuring that cybersecurity efforts align with the organisation's strategic objectives. The risk management part will cover aspects like identifying, assessing, and prioritising potential cybersecurity threats and vulnerabilities that could affect the organisation, such as ongoing monitoring, evaluation, and adjustment of security measures to address evolving threats and changes in the business environment. Finally, the compliance part will cover relevant laws, regulations, standards, and industry best practices related to cybersecurity, such as data protection regulations, industry-specific standards, and internal policies and procedures.
