Senior Information Risk Owner (SIRO)
Training Courses for those with SIRO responsibilities.
Course Description
The role of the Senior Information Risk Owner (SIRO) is a key function and needs to be in place across all areas of the public sector, including but not limited to; Government, Healthcare, Nuclear, Education, and suppliers to these organisations.
This is a very senior role within an organisation and is normally an additional set of responsibilities for a director or similar level. As such, SIROs may need additional support in understanding the role and its responsibilities. Developing a deep and wide understanding of Information Assurance in this way helps the organisation build resilience and support effective and valuable information sharing.
The management of risk within the Public Sector, and increasingly its supply chain, is key to ensuring the security of information assets and making informed decisions to prevent or respond in the event of an incident or breach.
