Course Description 

Cybersecurity is no longer only a technical responsibility. It is an orgction, third-party relationships, and executive decision-making.


The Cybersecurity & Information Risk Management course provides a structured understanding of how organizations can identify, assess, govern, and monitor cybersecurity risks within the French and European regulatory environment.


The course connects information risk management with cybersecurity governance, privacy engineering, defensive architecture, legal compliance, audit, and strategic oversight. It also introduces the EBIOS Risk Manager methodology and examines major regulatory frameworks, including NIS2, GDPR, DORA, and the Cyber Resilience Act.


Learners will explore cybersecurity from both operational and leadership perspectives. This includes evaluating threats, mapping controls, managing third-party risks, responding to incidents, measuring financial exposure, supporting audits, and developing a culture of continuous improvement.

Cybersecurity & Information Risk Management Course Overview

Effective cybersecurity requires more than security tools and technical controls. Organizations need a clear process for understanding digital risks, assigning responsibility, selecting appropriate safeguards, and demonstrating compliance.


This Cybersecurity Risk Management course examines the relationship between business priorities, information systems, legal obligations, technical security, and organizational resilience.


The curriculum begins with risk governance and the EBIOS Risk Manager methodology. It then covers French and European cybersecurity law, GDPR implementation, privacy risk assessment, defensive security architecture, incident response, executive oversight, cyber insurance, audit management, and cybersecurity leadership.


By bringing these areas together, the course helps learners understand how cybersecurity decisions are made across an organization. It also shows how legal, technical, financial, and governance considerations influence the treatment of information risk.

Why Compliance Training Matters

Cybersecurity incidents can disrupt services, expose personal or confidential information, affect customers and partners, and create significant legal or financial consequences.

A risk-based approach helps organizations move beyond isolated security measures. It allows decision-makers to identify important assets, understand realistic threats, evaluate vulnerabilities, prioritize controls, and determine whether remaining risks are acceptable.

Cybersecurity risk management also supports communication between technical teams, compliance professionals, senior management, auditors, legal advisers, and operational departments. Each group may view cyber risk differently, but all need a shared process for assessing impact and deciding how risks should be treated.

This Cybersecurity & Information Risk Management course helps learners develop that broader organizational perspective.
