An organisation’s cyber resilience is only as strong as the policies that guide its people, processes, and technology. In this topic, you’ll learn how to craft and implement a cyber security policy framework that aligns with your organisation’s risk appetite and drives real behavioural change. You’ll explore the full lifecycle of policy development, from drafting and stakeholder engagement to measuring impact and refining over time. By aligning your framework with strategic goals and regulatory requirements, you’ll ensure your policies are not only compliant, but also practical, enforceable, and embedded in day-to-day operations. This topic equips you with the tools and mindset to ensure your cyber security policies don’t just exist on paper, but shape real-world outcomes and build a strong, compliant culture of cyber resilience across the enterprise.

Strong technology governance is the backbone of any effective cyber security strategy. It defines who is accountable, how decisions are made, and how risk is reported and managed across all layers of the organisation. In this topic, you’ll explore the practical process of implementing a cyber governance framework that supports strategic oversight, ensures compliance, and embeds security into every level of the business. From setting up cyber risk oversight committees to establishing reporting lines and audit mechanisms, you’ll learn how to build governance structures that are both resilient and future-ready. Whether you're overseeing cyber strategy at the executive level or supporting risk reporting at the operational layer, this topic equips you with the foundations to embed governance that truly enables secure, informed decision-making.

A well-defined cyber security strategy is not just a technical necessity, it’s a business enabler. It aligns security initiatives with organisational goals, anticipates future risks, and builds trust with customers, regulators, and stakeholders. In this topic, you'll learn how to craft a strategic cyber roadmap that supports business outcomes, optimises resources, and prioritises resilience. You’ll begin with a high-level understanding of organisational objectives and risk posture, then move through practical steps to assess gaps, conduct threat modelling, and develop actionable plans that drive measurable progress. By the end of this module, you’ll be equipped to lead or support the development of a cyber strategy that earns executive support, delivers customer value, and positions your organisation to adapt and thrive in an evolving threat landscape.
