Programme Agenda
9:00 AM to 10:00 AM
Cyber Risk and the Framework
Introduce CSF 2.0 as an outcomes-based framework. Distinguish a cybersecurity outcome from a specific product, control implementation or certification. Identify business services and information that matter most.
10:00 AM to 10:15 AM
Break
10:15 AM to 11:30 AM
Govern and Identify
Connect business context, risk appetite, roles, policy and supply chain oversight with asset and risk identification. Use a simple service inventory to uncover missing owners and critical dependencies.
11:30 AM to 12:30 PM
Protect and Detect
Match access, staff awareness, data security and resilience practices to prevention goals. Explain monitoring and detection using everyday examples such as unusual logins and failed backups.
12:30 PM to 1:30 PM
Lunch
1:30 PM to 2:45 PM
Respond and Recover
Describe incident analysis, communications, containment and recovery coordination. Distinguish restoring a server from restoring a usable business service and learning from the incident.
2:45 PM to 3:00 PM
Break
3:00 PM to 4:00 PM
Profiles, Tiers and Priorities
Compare current and target organisational profiles. Introduce the purpose of implementation tiers without treating them as a certification score. Prioritise gaps using business impact, feasibility and ownership.
4:00 PM to 5:00 PM
