Course Topics
Lesson 1) What is Information Security?
Whether they realize it or not, every organization, including yours, engages in ‘information security’. Some organisations follow formal strategies for protecting their information, while others might not apply any methods at all.
In this lesson, the employee will be introduced to the concept of information security to help them better understand the security initiatives the organisation has put in place, and how to support these.
Lesson 2) What is an Information Security Management System?
“Information security” might sound technical, but it is more of a methodology than a list of technical requirements because it’s not just hackers that threaten your information.
This lesson provides context on how organizations handle the complex reality of information security by building and running an Information Security Management System (ISMS).
Lesson 3) Your Job & Information Security
An Information Security Management System relies on people, processes, and technology. By applying controls in these areas, the organisation can manage risks more effectively.
Understanding how these elements work together helps the employee spot risks, follow procedures, and avoid mistakes that could lead to data breaches.

All organisations deal with Information Security in some way, so it is important for employees to understand the context.
