Although perceived as an IT issue, information security is in fact a subject relevant to all business units. The BCS Certificate in Information Security Management Principles (CISMP) programme is ideal for members of information security management teams, IT Managers, security and systems managers, information asset owners and employees with legal compliance responsibilities.
The course will act as a stepping stone to more advanced qualifications (either managerial or technical), and also sits nicely with existing project management and service management based programs.

This course is also available virtually through the GTA, tutor led in real time but with the benefit of accessing it from the comfort of your office or your own home and these courses run regularly. The length of the course and the content are exactly the same as with the classroom option.
