Welcome to the Information Security Framework Learning Path.

Information security affects the entire organization, so, everybody from the top down must know their responsibilities and the processes they should follow. However, for an organization to be able to meet its information security obligations, it needs to have the right policies, governance, processes and standards in place. It also needs to operate within the appropriate legal framework.

This will not only provide the right direction but will also enable the organization to react quickly and efficiently when a security incident occurs.

This learning path has seven videos:

It starts by looking at where the security function fits within the organizational structure and the role of the Information Security Officer.
The second video then identifies the process to develop information security policies, standards and procedures.
The third video provides a basic understanding of the principles of information security governance and looks at how to carry out a security audit.
After that, the fourth video is about implementing the organization’s information assurance programme, focusing on the importance of stakeholder engagement.
Then the fifth video looks at what happens if things go wrong; it defines the incident management process and investigates the role digital forensics play in this.
The sixth video is about the legal framework information security operates within, and specifies the laws that must be followed by organizations and their suppliers; and
We conclude by looking the information assurance standards and how they should be applied within an organization.

The videos are supported by quizzes for you to check your understanding as you work through them.
