Information security programme
A programme for managers
The growing threat from cybercrime, such as ransomware, DDoS attacks, APT and other malware, means that companies now, more than ever, must take responsibility for information security at management level. At the same time, there is an ever-increasing demand for access to all data on all devices 24/7/365, in a world where IT continues to become more and more critical and a clear business differentiator. In addition, there are industry and regulatory requirements, e.g. GDPR, DORA and NIS2.
As a certified Information Security Manager, you will gain the skills that are essential in a business-oriented organisation. You will work on how, as a manager, you can create value for the rest of the business through information security.

Programme structure
The programme is divided into three modules:
• Governance
• Risk
• Compliance
After each of the modules Governance and Risk, you will be given a written assignment, which will be assessed by a panel of the ESL programme’s examiners, and you will receive feedback on your work. After the third module, Compliance, you will be given a written exam assignment, which must be passed and which you must defend at the oral exam.
Programme modules:
Governance
Information security can be difficult to communicate in a busy
organisation, where there is not always the necessary focus on information security. You will therefore be trained in communicating information security to executive management. You will gain knowledge and work with tools that enable you to lead information security in a company. You will gain insight into management aspects, including establishing a
management system, assessing and measuring the company’s maturity and security level. In addition, you will be trained in complex issues.
