Certificate in Cyber Governance, Risk Management & Compliance

Course Overview

In today’s increasingly complex threat landscape, cyber risk is no longer the sole responsibility of IT – it is a strategic issue that belongs at the top of the agenda. Senior leaders are now expected to understand the implications of cyber threats, ensure regulatory compliance, and protect their organisation’s reputation, even if they do not come from a technical background.

This course is specifically designed for non-cyber leaders who must navigate the growing demands of governance, risk management, and compliance (GRC) in a digital world. You will gain the knowledge, frameworks, and tools needed to confidently lead and oversee cyber resilience within your organisation – without requiring deep technical expertise
