Foundation Skills

This section describes language, literacy, numeracy and employment skills incorporated in the performance criteria that are required for competent performance.

SKILL	DESCRIPTION
Learning	Considers the strategic and operational potential of digital trends to achieve work goals, enhance work processes, create opportunities and enhance or reduce risks
Oral communication	Uses listening and questioning skills to confirm knowledge for requirements and when seeking and responding to feedback
Reading	Interprets technical enterprise security procedures, policies, specifications and vendor notifications to determine and confirm job requirements
Writing	Develops a broad range of material including security reports for a specific audience, using clear and detailed language to convey explicit information, requirements and recommendations
Teamwork	Actively identifies the requirements of important communication exchanges, selecting required channels, format, tone and content to suit purpose and audience
Planning and organising	Keeps up to date on changes to legislation or regulations required to own rights and responsibilities and considers implications of these when planning, negotiating and undertaking work
Problem solving	Uses a broad range of strategies to store, access and organise virtual information, recognising that design choices will influence what information is retrieved and how it may be interpreted and used Operates from a broad conceptual plan, developing the operational detail in stages, regularly reviewing priorities and performance during implementation and identifying and addressing issues
Self-management	Uses nuanced knowledge of context to detect, investigate and recover from security breaches
Technology	Demonstrates an acute awareness of the importance of knowledge, monitoring and controlling access to digitally stored and transmitted information
