The role of the Senior Information Risk Owner (SIRO) has grown from a mandatory role in Health & Social care to a role utilised by a wide range of organisations in the public and private sector.
Regardless of your background this practical workshop will take you through what the role of the SIRO is for both Health & Social Care and further afield. We will look at examples of best practice & standards, current trends and common risks, and look at where you want the role to go within your organisation.If you are a SIRO (either new or have been for a while) or are someone that will be working with the SIRO this workshop is for you.
By the end of this workshop you will have an understanding of the role of the SIRO, what it covers, the SIRO's role in Information Asset Management, how it interacts and is supported by other roles and how to make the SIRO role your own
