30. 06. 2025
💡 This course is part of the Academy of Information Security in Civil Aviation - PART-IS Manager training.
The training is intended for the management of organizations in the aviation sector that are obliged to implement requirements in accordance with the EASA PART-IS regulation. The program provides an overview of the requirements from IS.I.OR.100 to IS.I.OR.260, which directly relate to the responsibilities of management in establishing, implementing, monitoring, and improving the Information Security Management System (ISMS).
Through two structured blocks, participants will gain a clear understanding of the strategic, managerial, and supervisory obligations imposed on management by the regulations. Special emphasis is placed on topics such as establishing the ISMS, defining policies and responsibilities, risk management, contractual implementation of the ISMS, and continuous improvement. The program also addresses the role of management in handling incidents and cooperating with competent authorities and external providers.

Lecture Content

The training is divided into two learning blocks, each lasting 90 minutes:

  • Strategic Responsibility and ISMS Establishment
  • Operational Oversight, Compliance, and ISMS Improvements

➤ Strategic Responsibility and ISMS Establishment

This topic addresses the fundamental role of management in establishing and developing the Information Security Management System (ISMS) within civil aviation organizations. The requirements from IS.I.OR.100 to IS.I.OR.200 are explained in detail, with emphasis on the strategic obligations of top management.
The content includes management activities related to understanding the organization's context, defining the expectations of interested parties, adopting an information security policy, and setting ISMS objectives and priorities. The stated requirements clearly emphasize that it is the management’s responsibility to establish the foundations enabling compliance with legal and security obligations.
The topic also explains how management ensures necessary resources, assigns responsibilities, makes key decisions, and creates conditions for the effective functioning of the system. Particular emphasis is placed on the formal adoption and regular review of the ISMS policy, as well as aligning all activities with the strategic direction of the organization.
By analyzing regulatory requirements and expected procedures, this section enables understanding of how management's strategic decisions affect the security culture, resilience level, and overall effectiveness of information security management in accordance with PART-IS.I.OR.

➤ Operational Oversight, Compliance, and ISMS Improvements

This topic provides a detailed overview of the key responsibilities of management in implementing, overseeing, and continuously improving the Information Security Management System (ISMS), in accordance with the requirements from IS.I.OR.205 to IS.I.OR.260. The focus is on management’s operational activities to ensure the system is not only formally established but functions effectively and meets regulatory expectations.
The content covers risk management, decision-making based on internal reports, oversight of incidents and their reporting, and timely implementation of corrective actions. Management's responsibility is particularly emphasized in cases where appropriate action must be taken regarding security events that may affect aviation safety.
The topic also addresses oversight of external providers and contractual partners, monitoring their reliability and capability to meet security requirements, and the need for formal evidence of assumed responsibility. Additionally, it covers management’s obligation to regularly assess the maturity of the ISMS and define measures for its further improvement.
Taken as a whole, this section helps understand how management ensures the operational functioning of the ISMS through systematic oversight, compliance monitoring, and promoting continuous improvements in accordance with the obligations of PART-IS.I.OR.
