Do you plan to lead cybersecurity governance as a strategic business initiative that delivers measurable value?  

How would it feel to run cybersecurity governance like a strategic business project—on time, on budget, and audit-ready? Today’s executives and project managers must unify ISO/IEC, NIST and other security standards with legal requirements like GDPR, HIPAA and EU AI Act, as well as contractual and client expectations, into a cohesive program, embed accountability across teams, and translate compliance into measurable business value.  

In this course, you’ll master a four-phase blueprint - Plan, Assess, Implement, Operate - to articulate clear policy clauses, perform combined ISO/NIST risk assessments, draft a complete ISMS documentation suite, and deploy role-based training and incident simulations. Each phase simplifies complex requirements into actionable tasks that align cybersecurity governance with your organization’s strategic business priorities.  

Through hands-on labs like live risk assessments and KPI dashboard builds, plus customizable templates, workflows and monitoring tools, you’ll transform theory into practice.
