Public Sector Information Asset Owner (IAO) Advanced
Advent IM’s Public Sector IAO Advanced course covers data protection, legal compliance, and incident management, equipping IAOs to handle complex information governance in the public sector.
Advanced Course Description
As the final step in the Advent IM Information Asset Owner (IAO) Education Journey, our fully supportive training program for IAOs, and to build on our successful IAO Intermediate course, we have developed IAO Advanced. The completion of this course indicates a comprehensive understanding and application of the IAO role by the delegate.
It combines their in-role experience with a deeper understanding of not only information risk management but also data protection and communication with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). They will operate with increased knowledge and confidence in their abilities and experience. Fully fledged IAOs will bring organisational benefits of efficiency and developed information risk management. This course is designed to enable this completion and fully realise the potential of each IAO.
