Certificated Cyber Security Training
Cyber security skills are essential to any organisation committed to addressing the increasing and pervasive risks associated with cyber attacks. Experienced and qualified information security professionals are much in demand, and there is a global shortage of cyber security skills. ISACA's State of Cyber Security 2017 report found that 79% of respondents believe there is a shortage of cyber security professionals, and that 70% of hiring enterprises require a security certification for open cyber security positions.

Getting started with cyber security strategy
Our flagship Managing Cyber Security Risk course has been designed to help practitioners formulate plans and strategies for improving cyber security risk management in their organisations. It provides an overview of the types of cyber attack and the nature of cyber risk, together with guidance on practical approaches to risk management, cyber incident response and business continuity.
ISO 27001 and cyber security management
The international standard ISO 27001 underpins cyber security and data compliance regimes in organisations throughout the world. Gaining knowledge and experience in implementing and auditing an ISO 27001-compliant information security management systems (ISMS) will help you deliver your cyber security objectives and significantly enhance your information security career.
Our unique ISO 27001 learning pathway was created by leading ISO 27001 experts Alan Calder and Steve Watkins. This pathway includes an introductory ISO27001 Certified ISMS Foundation course and our internationally renowned ISO27001 Certified ISMS Lead Implementer and Lead Auditor courses. These training sessions are delivered in a classroom or Live Online format, and successful candidates are awarded qualifications issued by the International Board for IT Governance Qualifications (IBITGQ).
ISO 22301 and business continuity management
Ensuring that your business can continue to operate in the event of a cyber security incident is a key part of an effective cyber security strategy. ISO 22301 is the standard that defines best practice for implementing a robust business continuity plan to ensure that an organisation’s systems and processes are resilient to business disruptions such as outside attack or natural disaster.
Our courses lead delegates through a structured learning pathway that covers all aspects of awareness and practical implementation of the standard to ensure effective compliance. The ISO 22301 learning pathway includes the ISO22301 BCMS Foundation, Lead Implementer and Lead Auditor courses.
PCI DSS Compliance
The PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) aims to increase payment card data security. For organisations that store, transmit or process cardholder data, PCI DSS compliance forms a mandatory part of an effective cyber security strategy . Our PCI DSS Implementation training course will enable you to develop the skills to plan and implement a cost-effective route to full compliance.
EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
Organisations that store and process EU residents’ personal data have until May 2018 to comply with the GDPR or potentially face fines of up to 4% of annual turnover or €20 million – whichever is greater. Our unique GDPR Foundation and GDPR Practitioner courses provide comprehensive training and are the first ISO 17024-accredited GDPR qualifications available in the world.
