Content: Standards, laws and other regulatory aspects are extremely important for the development of high quality information security management systems. These regulations are used both as a means to understand some fundamental requirements in society but regulations can also be key elements for the development of different technical and organisational security measures in order to ensure secure handling of information. The course also includes information security policies, which are seen as an important part of the information security management system. The students will be trained to analyse, use and develop an information security policy based on relevant standards, laws, regulations as well as previous knowledge about policy development. Students will also train their ability to make ethical assessments relevant for the management of information security.

Teaching Methods: The employed teaching methods are mainy anchored in flipped classroom and case-based learning. The flipped classroom means focusing on exploring topics in greater depth and creating meaningful learning opportunities in class time, while content delivery is made outside of the classroom. Case-based learning means that scenarios from real-world examples are used as a point of departure for in-class activities and assignments.
