Information Security Officer Training Programme Development

The Department of Public Service and Administration is inviting bids for the development of a specialized training programme aimed at equipping Departmental Information Security Officers (DISO) with essential skills and knowledge in information security management. The successful service provider will be responsible for designing a curriculum that addresses the unique challenges faced by public service entities in safeguarding sensitive information. The training programme should encompass various modules, including risk assessment, incident response, and compliance with national security policies, ensuring that DISOs are well-prepared to protect government data effectively.

In addition to curriculum development, bidders must demonstrate expertise in adult learning principles and online course design, providing a platform that facilitates interactive learning experiences. The training should be adaptable to various learning styles and include assessments to measure participant progress. This initiative not only aims to enhance the capabilities of DISOs but also contributes to the overall security posture of the public service, fostering a culture of security awareness and compliance across government departments.
