Course Overview
Organisations utilise large amounts of data and information on a daily basis. This information may include customer, service user or employee details, as well as financial and other non-personal information relevant to the organisation's activities and stakeholders. To prevent inappropriate sharing or theft of information and data assets, organisations must actively monitor and minimise the risk of cyberattacks, which can cause significant harm to business operations and individuals.
In order to accomplish this goal, organisations should ensure they have qualified employees in place to implement appropriate systems, policies, and procedures to identify and analyse potential vulnerabilities as part of a robust information risk management programme.
The BCS Practitioner Certificate in Information Risk Management (PCIRM) course provides a comprehensive understanding of the best practices, principles, and techniques used to safeguard critical information assets from a wide range of threats and vulnerabilities. The course addresses the fundamentals of information security and various international standards that apply to information risk management, including ISO 27001, 27005, and 31000. By attending this accredited BCS PCIRM course, attendees will develop practical skills in conducting risk assessments, evaluating risks against an organisation's risk appetite and developing risk treatment plans.
