Module code: COS7030-B
Having appropriate systems in place to protect data should be a number one priority for all businesses when it comes to cyber security. Enabling authentication, limiting access to confidential data and setting secure passwords are just a few ways to enhance organisational cyber security. ISO/IEC 27001 is the most widely used information security management standard that helps organizations, of any size or industry, to protect their information in a systematic and cost-effective way, through the adoption of an Information Security Management System (ISMS). In this module, the students will learn key security concepts for establishing, implementing, maintaining and continually improving an ISMS based on ISO/IEC 27001 compliance. This module will enable the students to develop the necessary expertise to protect the critical assets of the organisation, quantify risks of cyber-attacks associated with these assets, mitigate risks and protect personally identifiable information through the adoption of ISO/IEC 27001 and its extensions such as ISO/IEC 27002, and ISO/IEC 27701.
