Track overview
What this learning path covers.
This track focuses on the governance side of protecting information. Learners may help structure sample policies, control evidence, information classifications, risk registers and review checklists while understanding the difference between a written requirement and an operating control.
This is an expression-of-interest track. Final scope, schedule, supervision, selection and availability are confirmed only for an approved internship engagement.
Learning outcomes
