GCHQ-Certified Cyber Incident Planning and Response Course Chicago 24th June 2019

Is your organisation prepared to respond to a data breach?

The UK Government's GCHQ-Certified and IISP accredited CIPR workshop provides organisations with management best practices and a blueprint for building a cyber-resilient business. Features of the program include

• Creating organization-wide breach-response strategies, policies, processes and procedures.
• Creating actionable plans, checklists and incident playbooks.
• Increasing compliance with breach-notification and incident response regulations. 
• The Golden Hour - and its importance in managing an incident successfully. 
• An assessment of current technology, policy and procedural controls to align with the developed scenarios.
• PR and crisis communications and ensuring they are ready for cyber incidents.

Participants in our GCHQ-Certified Cyber Incident Planning and Response workshops have included attendees from organisations including the United Nations, UK Ministry of Defence, several UK Police Forces and NHS Trusts, European Central Bank, Swiss National Bank, UBS, Barclays, Goldman Sachs, Unilever, Microsoft, IBM, Emirates Airlines, Vodaphone, Ernst and Young and many more.

This course will enable you to prepare a defined and managed approach when responding to a data breach or attack of an information asset. The content is intended for senior management and business executives who wish to gain a better understanding of incident response or are responsible for helping organizations plan and prepare for potential cyber threats and effectively deal with actual cyber-attacks. This is not a technical course, therefore, there are no prerequisites.

This training is available as a one-day public course.

GCT is part of the UK Government’s initiative to address the shortage of skilled cybersecurity professionals. GCHQ helps protect the Government’s communications and electronic data – it is one of the three UK Intelligence and Security Agencies alongside MI5 and the Secret Intelligence Service (MI6).

With so many cybersecurity training courses available – GCT certification enables customers to distinguish between reputable courses and ones that have not been validated using a Government endorsed assessment process.     

The GCT scheme is underpinned by the industry respected IISP framework and assesses the quality of the course materials and the trainers’ delivery of the course against GCHQ’s exacting standards. Attendees can, therefore, be confident that they’re embarking on a training course that has been recognised for excellence by a UK Government developed cybersecurity scheme.
