Course Overview

The course on “Cybersecurity Compliance and Governance” consists of six modules over 14 classes, each lasting between 30 minutes to an hour. It begins with an introduction to the foundational concepts of cybersecurity governance and compliance, exploring the roles and distinctions between the two. The subsequent modules delve into regulatory environments, governance frameworks like NIST and ISO 27001, risk management, the crafting of cybersecurity policies, key compliance requirements, audits, incident response, and ends with monitoring and continuous improvement. Each class combines theoretical insights with practical exercises, such as case studies, policy drafting, risk assessments, and a capstone project that synthesizes the course content into a practical compliance plan for a fictional company.
