Our Senior Information Risk Owner (SIRO) course fulfils a practical and interactive training need, helping you understand the SIRO role in depth.
Senior Information Risk Owners (SIRO) are usually Executive Directors or Senior Board members, and it can be tricky balancing this additional aspect of your role. This is where our SIRO course comes in. Developed by data protection practitioners with a wealth of experience, this course will help you understand and perform your SIRO role with complete confidence.
As a SIRO you are expected to understand how the strategic business goals of the organisation may be impacted by information risks. Expert Barry Moult will help you to understand how to identify and mitigate information security risks, and how to manage incidents.
Throughout the course we will look at why the SIRO is an important role in health and social care, along with your SIRO role in context of leadership governance and communications.
Our SIRO course is practical, interactive, and provides a sound foundation for those already in the role or looking to move into the role.
