This 'Microsoft 365 Governance' training maps Microsoft 365 controls to Scottish regulatory requirements, including FOISA, EIRs, PRSA, Records Management Plans, Scottish public sector accountability expectations, cyber resilience considerations and the need to evidence responsible information stewardship.
This is not a Microsoft 365 user course. It is about governing the information held within Microsoft 365 and ensuring that Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive and other Microsoft 365 environments are managed in a way that supports information governance, security, compliance and effective information management. Delegates will learn more about permissions/access, external sharing, retention, ownership, information architecture, lifecycle and audit/assurance.
All of our live, instructor-led training programmes are developed specifically for professionals working within Scotland's legal and regulatory framework. Every programme is grounded in relevant Scottish legislation, regulatory guidance, practical case studies and real-world scenarios to ensure delegates can apply their learning immediately. All are delivered with a practical understanding of the balance between risk and available resources.
Note: Attendance at this training is limited to 30 delegates.
