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.
Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) unit fee
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government, which means students only pay the student contribution amount of the tuition fee. CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students.
The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).
2025 student contribution amount: $1,164
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $1,164
* If you are a continuing student (who commenced your course before 1 January 2021) you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.
