GCHQ Certified Cyber Incident Planning & Response

GCHQ Certified Cyber Incident Planning & Response

The recent wannacry ransomware attack not only affected computers and billboards but actually impacted human life on a mass scale as hundreds of operations had to be delayed or cancelled.

Organisations continue to suffer from external and internal attacks yet Cyber Incident Management is an afterthought in most companies.

Is your organisation prepared to respond to a data breach?

• Is your organisation ready to deal with regulators after a data breach?

• Are you able to comply with GDPR breach notification requirements?

• Are you able to measure your organisations breach readiness?

Including a Cyber Incident Response Plan in your GDPR preparation roadmap, will demonstrate to the regulators that you have the policies, procedures and planning in place to swiftly respond to a data breach.

This course will enable you to prepare a defined and managed approach when responding to a data breach or attack of an information asset. The content is intended for senior management and business executives who wish to gain a better understanding of incident response or are responsible for helping organizations plan and prepare for potential cyber threats and effectively deal with actual cyber-attacks. This is not a technical course therefore there are no prerequisites.

This training is available as a one day public course or a two day internal workshop.

GCT is part of the UK Government’s initiative to address the shortage of skilled cyber security professionals. GCHQ helps protect the Government’s communications and electronic data – it is one of the three UK Intelligence and Security Agencies alongside MI5 and the Secret Intelligence Service (MI6).

With so many cyber security training courses available – GCT certification enables customers to distinguish between reputable courses and ones that have not been validated using a Government endorsed assessment process.     

The GCT scheme is underpinned by the industry respected IISP framework and assesses the quality of the course materials and the trainers’ delivery of the course against GCHQ’s exacting standards.
