Information Governance and Cyber Security Awareness

Course Overview

The purpose of this course is to provide learners with a practical understanding of information governance and cybersecurity awareness. It highlights the importance of handling information responsibly and protecting digital systems against common threats. The course equips learners with knowledge of relevant legal requirements, organisational responsibilities, and personal practices that reduce risks. By the end of the course, learners will feel more confident in recognising potential risks to information security and applying good practices to safeguard personal and organisational data.

A customer record can travel from a shared inbox to a colleague's laptop in seconds. Its protection depends on the choices made along the way. This course places those choices within the responsibilities that come with handling personal and business information. Employees explore the connection between appropriate information use and secure digital behaviour. The learning follows that connection into daily tasks, including the point at which a possible incident needs to be reported.
Why this Training Matters for your Organisation
Information is part of almost every business activity. When staff understand how to handle it, organisational policies become easier to apply during a busy working day. The value for employers lies in connecting responsibilities that can otherwise feel separate. Data protection requirements explain why care is needed; cyber awareness addresses the habits that help maintain it. Both belong in the decisions employees make with the systems already at their desks.
Who Should Attend
Make this learning available to colleagues who work with information as part of their regular duties:
  • Administrative staff and teams handling customer records.
  • Managers and employees using shared business systems.
  • Remote workers and colleagues responsible for sensitive information.

Learning Outcomes

The programme connects the purpose of governance with the practical demands of digital work. Learning includes:
  • Information governance principles and organisational responsibilities. Explore the place of UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act in managing information.
  • Common cyber threats and their potential consequences. Consider the part employees play in reducing exposure.
  • Password practices and email use. Extend that attention to devices and the tools used for remote working.
  • Incident reporting and escalation through organisational procedures. Use case studies to consider how the learning applies to real decisions.

Assessment

The closing assessment uses 20 multiple-choice questions, with a 100% score needed to complete it successfully. Submission triggers automatic marking and an immediate result. Further attempts remain available as often as required, with no additional cost.

Team and Company Bookings

Information regularly crosses departmental boundaries. Coordinating enrolment around the teams that exchange it can make the learning especially relevant. After the course, use an existing handover as a discussion point for how staff apply your information-handling procedures.
