Most breaches in African organisations start with a person, not a firewall: a clicked link, a reused password, an approved fraudulent invoice. This course is written for the managers who own that risk rather than for engineers who configure devices. Last updated October 31, 2026 5 Days Expert Instructors Certificate Included Online & In-Person ## Course Overview Most breaches in African organisations start with a person, not a firewall: a clicked link, a reused password, an approved fraudulent invoice. This course is written for the managers who own that risk rather than for engineers who configure devices. Participants learn to assess their organisation's exposure, put policies and controls in place that staff will actually follow, run an awareness programme that changes behaviour, prepare an incident response plan, and report cyber risk to the board in business language. Participants leave with a risk register, an incident response runbook and a twelve-month awareness plan for their own organisation. **Share this course:** [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftrustgatecorporateskills.com%2Fcourses%2Fcyber-security-management-and-awareness-for-organisations) [Twitter](https://x.com/intent/post?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftrustgatecorporateskills.com%2Fcourses%2Fcyber-security-management-and-awareness-for-organisations&text=Cyber+Security+Management+and+Awareness+for+Organisations+Course) [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https%3A%2F%2Ftrustgatecorporateskills.com%2Fcourses%2Fcyber-security-management-and-awareness-for-organisations&title=Cyber+Security+Management+and+Awareness+for+Organisations+Course) [WhatsApp](https://api.whatsapp.com/send?text=Cyber+Security+Management+and+Awareness+for+Organisations+Course%20https%3A%2F%2Ftrustgatecorporateskills.com%2Fcourses%2Fcyber-security-management-and-awareness-for-organisations) ## Learning Objectives - Assess your organisation's cyber risk exposure and prioritise it - Apply a recognised framework such as ISO 27001 or the NIST Cybersecurity Framework at management level - Write security policies staff can follow: access, passwords, devices, remote work - Run a staff awareness programme, including phishing simulations - Recognise and prevent social engineering, business email compromise and invoice fraud - Manage third-party and supplier security risk - Build and test an incident response and business continuity plan - Meet the security obligations in data protection law - Report cyber risk and readiness to executives and the board ## Course Content ### Module 1: The Threat Landscape in Practice 1.
