Information Security Governance and Controls Training Course

Information Security Governance is the strategic framework of leadership, organizational structures, and processes that ensure an organization's information security supports its business goals. In an era where cyber threats are increasingly sophisticated and regulatory scrutiny is at an all-time high, simply deploying technical tools is no longer sufficient. Do you know if your current security investments are actually reducing the risks that matter most to your board? This course addresses the critical gap between technical security operations and executive-level oversight by providing a structured approach to GRC (Governance, Risk, and Compliance). You will explore how to leverage internationally recognized standards such as ISO/IEC 27001 and COBIT 2019 to build a resilient security posture that survives both audits and attacks.

This course is designed as a bridge for professionals moving from technical roles into strategic management or for existing leaders who need to formalize their governance structures. Information Security Governance enables professionals to define clear accountability, manage risk appetite, and demonstrate the business value of security initiatives. Can you prove the effectiveness of your control environment when a major stakeholder asks for a maturity report? By the end of this program, Information Security Managers, GRC Analysts, and IT Auditors will be equipped with the templates and frameworks necessary to lead organizational change. You will move beyond reactive firefighting to proactive, evidence-based governance that protects both reputation and revenue.

About the Course

The modern enterprise operates in a landscape of fragmented regulations and hyper-connected supply chains, making Information Security Governance a non-negotiable business capability. Organizations today require results they can prove through data-driven metrics rather than anecdotal evidence. To succeed in this field, you must demonstrate five core capabilities: strategic alignment of security with business drivers, comprehensive risk management using standardized methodologies, effective resource management, performance measurement through Key Goal Indicators (KGIs), and value delivery that justifies security spending. This course provides the roadmap to master these domains using the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) and the CIS Controls as your primary guides.

You will learn how to transform scattered security activities into a cohesive, audited system. Specifically, you will practice conducting maturity assessments, designing control matrices, and drafting governance charters that define clear roles and responsibilities. This course teaches you to apply the COBIT 2019 design factors to tailor a governance system that fits your specific organizational context. You will be introduced to the complexities of multi-jurisdictional compliance and third-party risk management, while gaining hands-on experience in building a security dashboard that speaks the language of the executive suite. We acknowledge the real-world constraints of budget limitations and talent shortages, positioning this training as a toolkit for delivering high-impact governance under realistic operational pressures.

Requirements & Prerequisites

Participants should have at least 3 years of experience in IT, information security, or internal audit. A basic understanding of risk management concepts and familiarity with common security technologies (firewalls, encryption, IAM) is required. This is an intermediate-level course focused on management and governance rather than technical configuration.


Local Application and Business Return

How participants can apply the training in local operating conditions, and the return their organisation can plan for.

How participants apply this

Participants in Greece would use this training to review how security policies, control testing, and risk registers are governed across headquarters and local operations. They can use the frameworks to improve board reporting, define ownership for key controls, and make sure exceptions are approved at the right management level. Internal auditors can use the course to assess whether control design and monitoring are consistent with enterprise risk priorities. Risk and compliance teams can use it to translate technical findings into business impact, remediation plans, and executive dashboards.

Expected ROI

Within 6–12 months, organizations typically see clearer control ownership, better audit preparation, and more consistent reporting on security risk. Leaders gain a more reliable view of which controls are effective, which gaps carry the highest business impact, and where spending should be redirected. The main return is usually lower governance friction: fewer unclear exceptions, faster decision-making, and stronger coordination between security, compliance, and business units. For organizations with recurring audit findings, the course can help reduce repeat issues by improving evidence, accountability, and follow-through.

Training Methodology

This is a practical, outcome-driven course designed to turn governance aspirations into measurable action and credible reporting.

Methodology includes:

  • Hands-on maturity assessment exercise using the CMMI-based scoring tool
  • Scenario simulation requiring risk appetite definition for a digital transformation project
  • Control mapping workshop using the CIS Controls and ISO 27001 Annex A
  • Stakeholder mapping exercise to define the RACI matrix for security governance
  • Case study analysis of governance failures in the finance and healthcare sectors
  • Group workshop producing a draft Information Security Governance Charter
  • Reflection exercise benchmarking current organizational practices against COBIT 2019 standards

  • Regulatory fit
  • Business application

Why this course matters in Greece

A market-specific advisory on the operating pressures this course helps teams address.

Information Security Governance and Controls training matters in Greece because organizations are operating under the EU’s cybersecurity governance model, where boards and executives are expected to oversee risk, accountability, and compliance rather than leave security as a purely technical function. This is especially relevant for regulated sectors and larger enterprises that must demonstrate control design, evidence, and risk treatment to auditors, customers, and regulators. The course helps leaders decide whether their current controls are reducing business risk, meeting governance obligations, and supporting resilience at the enterprise level. It is most useful for boards, senior management, risk and compliance teams, internal audit, and IT/security leaders who need a common language for oversight and reporting.
Board oversight is now a governance issue, not just an IT issue

Greek organizations that operate in the EU context need executives who can interpret cyber risk in business terms, because governance expectations focus on oversight, accountability, and documented risk treatment rather than only on technical defenses.

Controls must be evidenced for audits and assurance

This course is relevant where internal audit, external audit, and compliance functions need clear proof that controls are designed, implemented, and monitored consistently across business units.

Risk appetite and resilience need to be aligned

For Greek firms in finance, telecoms, energy, shipping, and public services, the practical challenge is often deciding which security investments reduce the most important operational and regulatory risks, and which can be deferred.

The timing is strong because cybersecurity governance expectations in the EU increasingly require documented risk management, executive accountability, and ongoing oversight. In Greece, organizations that are modernizing digital services or operating in regulated sectors need managers who can connect security controls to compliance, continuity, and board-level reporting.

Regulators

  • HDPA Relevant because information security governance in Greece must support personal data protection, breach handling, accountability, and documented controls.
  • HCSA Relevant because it is the national cybersecurity authority and is central to security governance expectations, guidance, and incident-response coordination.
  • HCMC Relevant for listed companies and financial-market participants that need stronger governance, internal controls, and risk oversight.

Frameworks the course aligns with

  • 01 Regulation (EU) 2016/679 General Data Protection Regulation · 2016
  • 02 Law 4624/2019 on the Hellenic Data Protection Authority, implementation measures for Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and transposition of Directive (EU) 2016/680 · 2019
  • 03 Law 5160/2024 on cybersecurity · 2024

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? We've gathered the answers to common queries to help you feel confident and informed.

It is most useful for managers, executives, and governance roles, but technical staff also benefit if they need to explain controls, risk, and compliance in business terms. The focus is on oversight, accountability, and decision-making rather than hands-on security engineering.

It helps teams organize evidence around control design, operation, and monitoring so auditors can see how risks are being managed. That makes it easier to answer questions about ownership, exceptions, testing, and remediation.

Tools do not automatically create resilience. Governance shows whether those tools are tied to business risk, whether controls are actually working, and whether leaders are getting the right information to make decisions.

Boards, senior management, IT security, internal audit, risk, compliance, and legal functions should ideally share the same governance framework. That reduces gaps between technical operations and executive oversight.
