In the Defence sector, the integrity, security, and governance of data are critical for safeguarding sensitive information and ensuring market competitiveness. This is particularly crucial for major programs such as AUKUS and GWEO, where the ability of Defence suppliers to securely manage sensitive data is becoming a key selection criterion. Proper data management is also a significant compliance requirement under various Defence-related regulations and standards, such as CMMC, DISP, DSPF, and ITAR. Despite the emphasis by governments and prime contractors on the need for cyber improvements, the actual adoption of data security and governance practices in the Defence industrial base remains poor. Our course, "Developing Defence Relevant - Data Governance and Classification Scheme for Your Organisation," is specifically designed to address these critical needs. This instructor-led training equips participants with the essential skills to create and implement robust data governance frameworks and classification schemes tailored to Defence organizations. This course has already been successfully delivered as part of the Defence-backed Defence Ready Seminar Series, helping nearly 100 aspiring Defence companies uplift their data governance practices. Course Outline:

• What is Information Security and Why is it Important?
• What is the Data Classification Process?
• What is Security Governance?
• Types of Data in Defence
• Data Classification from a Defence Supplier’s Perspective
• Defence-Relevant Classifications
• Exercise 1 – Map Sensitive Data to Its Classification
• Exercise 2 – Develop a Data Classification Scheme for Your Organisation
• Exercise 3 – Develop a Data Asset Register for Your Organisation

Expected Outcomes: 1. Grasp the significance of data governance from a Defence perspective. 2. Understand the data-centric approach utilized by Defence suppliers. 3. Learn how to categorize data and identify what is crucial for Defence suppliers. 4. Gain the knowledge needed to build a Defence-relevant data classification scheme for your organization. 5. Develop an inventory of sensitive data assets for your organization. 6. Create a data classification scheme tailored to your organizational needs. Participants will receive actual data classification templates and asset inventory registers to use during the exercises. These resources can be directly applied within their own organizations, ensuring practical and actionable outcomes. This non-technical course is suitable for Company Owners, Data Owners, Project Managers, Program Managers, IT Managers, and anyone who has the overall responsibility for Company Risk and Data Management in an organization. Join us to master the fundamentals of data governance and classification, and enhance your organization's data security and operational readiness.
