Data Management, Security and Warehousing

A five-day course on governing, protecting, and storing data through its full lifecycle, covering classification, storage and warehouse architecture, backup and recovery, encryption, access control, and privacy. Participants learn to reduce breach risk, cut storage costs, and prove control effectiveness.

Introduction

Data has become the asset a company cannot insure, replace, or leave unmanaged. Customer records, financial files, supplier documents, and operational logs sit across servers, cloud platforms, and storage media, and every one of them carries a legal and commercial obligation. This Data Management, Security and Warehousing Training Course gives data, IT, and compliance professionals a practical method to govern, protect, and store information through its full lifecycle. Participants learn how to classify data, design secure storage and backup architectures, apply encryption and access controls, meet privacy requirements, and plan retention and disposal. Furthermore, the course connects technical controls to governance, so protection holds up under audit and regulatory review.

Data Management, Security and Warehousing Course Objectives

  • Classify data by sensitivity, criticality, and regulatory category.
  • Design data architectures covering databases, warehouses, data lakes, and storage tiers.
  • Apply storage management methods: tiering, deduplication, compression, and archiving.
  • Build backup, replication, and disaster recovery plans with defined RTO and RPO targets.
  • Implement encryption at rest and in transit using standard algorithms and key management.
  • Apply identity and access management, role-based access, and least-privilege principles.
  • Enforce data privacy and retention requirements under GDPR-style rules and local law.
  • Design secure destruction and media sanitisation procedures per recognised standards.
  • Monitor data security using logging, SIEM alerts, and data loss prevention tools.
  • Build governance: data ownership, stewardship, policy, and audit evidence.

Course Methodology

  • Facilitated sessions built on real data architectures and governance policies.
  • Case workshops on data breaches, storage failures, and recovery tests.
  • Tabletop exercise on a ransomware incident and recovery sequence.
  • Group work on a data classification and retention matrix.
  • Peer review of backup and disaster recovery plans against RTO and RPO targets.

Who Should Take This Course

  • Data management and data governance officers.
  • IT infrastructure, storage, and backup administrators.
  • Information security and compliance analysts.
  • Database administrators and data warehouse staff.
  • Risk, audit, and privacy officers.
  • Records and document management professionals.
