Cambs leading training provider urges local businesses to invest in cyber security skills

IT Governance Ltd, a market-leading professional services provider, based in Ely, has seen a 50% increase in bookings on its information security training courses. The increase is largely due to the fact that cyber security has become high priority in boardrooms right now.

Organisations are increasingly investing in ISO27001 certification and they need trained IT professionals and auditors to help them go through the implementation process. ISO27001 is the only management system standard that enables organisations of all types and sizes, to demonstrate to their customers and suppliers that information security is a high priority.

Alan Calder, CEO of IT Governance, says, “Cambridge and the surrounding area is a hub for IT and technology businesses. Such companies as these, need to be at the forefront of information security implementation, leading the way for other organisations to a more secure 21st Century. By implementing the recognised information security standards they gain a competitive edge, win new clients and retain existing customers. Cyber security pays off 100%. In order to achieve this, however, they need implementers and auditors with relevant skills.”

“Organisations can use their available resources and offer them the opportunity to train and gain certification from industry recognised bodies. Thus the employers not only ensure that their staff are competent and do their job more effectively, but also increase employee loyalty and satisfaction.”  

 “We are a local company that wants to work with, and support, local businesses. We have the end-to-end solution for any information security, IT governance, risk management and compliance needs.” adds Calder.

IT Governance offers a comprehensive range of certified training courses which help IT professionals and organisations compete and survive in the insecure 21st Century.

IT Governance provides in-house staff training for both technical and non-technical staff. Any course from IT Governance’s training course catalogue can be delivered in house.

The in-house training courses can be tailored to the organisation’s specific needs, business environment and projects to ensure that staff play an effective, on-going role in securing their company’s corporate information.

In-house training is undoubtedly the most cost-effective method for an organisation to train a number of staff to a common standard. Tangible benefits include reduced training costs, lack of travel and hotel fees, as well as full flexibility in terms of timing of the sessions.

For non-technical staff, the company also offers the convenience of e-learning to raise awareness in particular subject areas, such as information security, data protection or the payment card industry standard (PCI DSS). E-learning requires minimal administrative organisation, and employees can do the training in their own time and at their own pace.
