Career Path and Mentoring

Individual support for the person holding the role, with a competence plan, review of real cases and preparation for dealing with the authority.

  • IT professionals who have taken on the role;
  • Cybersecurity teams being built.

Deliverables

  • Individual competence plan;
  • Monthly mentoring sessions;
  • Review of real cases and documents;
  • Annual review and plan for the following year.
