Cybersecurity Compliance Training Live – The Essentials

Think cybersecurity compliance sounds dry? Think again.

This is not a lecture. It is a live, competitive learning event where you answer questions in real time, score points, and climb the leaderboard, all while actually learning what you need to know.

Cybersecurity compliance covers the laws, standards, controls, frameworks, and practices that help your organisation protect its systems, networks, and data, and meet its legal and regulatory obligations. Every organisation needs it. Most people are not sure where to start. That is exactly what this session is for.

If you are new to cybersecurity compliance, welcome. Join our highly interactive session to unpack the essentials and put your organisation on the path to compliance. You could work through POPIA, sector rules, and best-practice frameworks on your own. Or, you could do this instead. You will participate throughout the session, not just at the end, so by the time the scores are in, you will have covered the ground that actually matters.

In South Africa, cybersecurity compliance typically includes obligations under POPIA, as well as broader legal, regulatory, and good-practice requirements. Depending on your sector, this may also extend to specific frameworks such as the Joint Standard on Cybersecurity and Cyber Resilience Requirements, which took effect in June 2025.

Bragging rights are up for grabs!
