ICT Risk Management in Government Systems Programme

About this course

As governments increasingly rely on digital technologies to deliver services, manage information, support decision-making, and engage citizens, ICT risks have become a significant strategic and operational concern. Government institutions face a growing range of risks arising from cybersecurity threats, technology failures, data breaches, regulatory non-compliance, system disruptions, third-party dependencies, and emerging digital technologies.

Effective ICT risk management enables public sector organisations to identify, assess, monitor, mitigate, and govern technology-related risks while ensuring the availability, integrity, confidentiality, and resilience of critical government systems and services.

The Seya Capital ICT Risk Management in Government Systems Programme equips ICT professionals, risk managers, auditors, compliance officers, cybersecurity specialists, and public sector leaders with the knowledge, frameworks, tools, and practical skills required to establish and strengthen ICT risk management capabilities within government institutions.

The programme covers ICT risk governance, enterprise risk management, cyber risk management, information security risks, compliance requirements, business continuity, disaster recovery, digital resilience, third-party risk management, and ICT assurance practices.

Participants will gain practical experience in implementing risk management frameworks that support secure, resilient, and sustainable digital government operations.
