Course Description

This is an introduction to concept the of the IAO role and covers the organisational steps, processes and other Information Assurance (IA) roles that should be in place before undertaking a move into IAO roll-out. It will demonstrate why this is a vital step that should not be overlooked and can help prevent a waste of valuable resources. It covers basic areas that require no prior knowledge of IA roles, but will explain what they are. Following on from this course, we continue to support your journey by offering a full suite of IAO training courses; IAO Essentials, IAO Intermediate and Advanced IAO Training complete the skill set and the IAO Education Journey.

Who Should Attend

This course is suitable for anyone who has been tasked with setting up an information asset ownership programme. Additionally, this course is suitable for;

• those tasked with reinvigorating a lapsed or stalled IAO programme.

• those with Data Protection responsibilities, both DPOs or non-DPO who are interested in understanding how an IAO programme can support and enable ongoing compliance with. the DPA2018.

This is not an IT course; however, IT practitioners may find it beneficial to understand how a greater understanding of Information Assets, and the implementation of an
IAO programme will benefit the development of a more business-centric and business-supportive ICT strategy going forward, facilitate better and more intuitive access control, and develop information-sharing protocols that enable rather than inhibit partnership working.
