Course Overview: Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC)
In today’s digital and regulatory landscape, organizations must not only secure their systems but also demonstrate compliance, manage risks effectively, and implement strong governance practices. The Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) Training provides participants with the knowledge and practical skills required to align cybersecurity with business objectives, manage risk, and meet regulatory obligations.
This course introduces the principles of IT governance and explains how organizations establish accountability, enforce security policies, and implement frameworks that support secure and compliant operations. Participants will learn how to identify, assess, and prioritize cyber and operational risks, and how to implement appropriate controls to reduce exposure.
The training also explores regulatory requirements and standards such as ISO 27001, NIST frameworks, PCI-DSS, and data protection regulations, including Nigeria’s NDPR and financial sector cybersecurity expectations. Participants will understand how compliance supports business trust, protects sensitive data, and reduces legal and financial risks.
Through practical exercises and real-world scenarios, learners will conduct risk assessments, develop security policies, evaluate control effectiveness, and prepare organizations for compliance audits. The course also covers vendor risk management, data protection, business continuity planning, and building a security-aware organizational culture.
By the end of the program, participants will be equipped to support governance initiatives, strengthen risk management processes, ensure compliance readiness, and contribute to building resilient and trustworthy organizations.
