Course description

Ideally, careful planning goes into your security policies and other documents, and this is conducted as a project with budgeted resources and time. Of course, sometimes circumstances dictate a different approach so we address that too. We walk through the pre-project process, evaluating where you are, where you need to be, who should be involved and how to gain project approval.
