Overview of assessment
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Evidence of the ability to:
monitor and assess information security compliance
conduct internal audits
assess the effectiveness of enterprise compliance
compile, analyse and report performance measures.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Assessment must ensure access to:
IT business specifications
information on the security environment, including laws or legislation, existing organisational security policies, organisational expertise and knowledge
possible security environment, which includes threats to security that are, or are held to be, present in the environment
risk analysis tools and methodologies
IT security assurance specifications
appropriate learning and assessment support when required
modified equipment for people with special needs.
Method of assessment
A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:
verbal or written questioning to assess candidate’s knowledge of:
enterprise policies
information security aims
IT audits
review of candidate’s documented performance measures
observation of candidate conducting an IT audit.
Guidance information for assessment
Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, where appropriate.
Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate, and suitable to the communication skill level, language, literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed.
Indigenous people and other people from a non-English speaking background may need additional support.
In cases where practical assessment is used it should be combined with targeted questioning to assess required knowledge.
