Course Information:

Various sample deliverables are offered utilizing public domain templates, checklists, and forms. Templates will change continuously adapting to changes in the computer information security services industry.

NCS Data Systems consultants working in the disaster planning and recovery and security field will be dynamically implementing new scenarios that are over and above the base scenarios used in student workbooks.

Please note that this is not a class that will explain the very intricacies of each and every technique and template available.

NCS Data Systems consultants constantly revise information used in this class.
