Introduction

The energy sector has become a primary target for sophisticated cyber threats capable of disrupting critical infrastructure, operational continuity, and national economic stability. As energy and power systems become increasingly digitised and interconnected, organisations must strengthen cybersecurity governance frameworks to protect operational technology (OT), industrial control systems (ICS), and cyber-physical infrastructure from evolving security risks.

The Cybersecurity Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) in the Energy Sector training course provides professionals with a comprehensive understanding of cybersecurity governance principles, risk management frameworks, and compliance systems applicable to critical energy infrastructure. Participants examine the relationship between governance, operational resilience, cybersecurity management systems (CSMS), and regulatory oversight across industrial environments.

This training course also addresses cybersecurity risk assessment methodologies, international standards, industrial control system protection, and implementation of IEC/ISA 62443 cybersecurity management systems. Through practical frameworks and industry-focused application, participants will strengthen their ability to manage cyber risk, improve compliance readiness, and support secure and resilient energy operations.

Key focus areas include:
