Indiana University Space Cybersecurity Compliance Digital Badge

Purpose

Building on this foundation, the program examines how organizations can translate regulatory requirements and industry standards into practical compliance strategies, particularly considering that many companies often operate or intend to operate across multiple jurisdictions and collaborate with partners and clients from different European countries as well as NASA. Participants will learn how space companies and institutions can select among the various applicable standards, develop internal cybersecurity policies, manage compliance obligations across complex supply chains, and address issues of liability and risk allocation and management. The program also discusses the role of insurance and risk-transfer mechanisms in managing cybersecurity risk in the space sector.

Upon completion, earners of this badge from the Indiana University Space Governance Lab will have a clear understanding of the governance landscape shaping space cybersecurity, including regulatory instruments and industry standards applicable to space systems. They will be able to navigate the emerging compliance landscape, identify relevant standards, and understand how organizations can design and implement effective compliance strategies and cybersecurity risk management policies. 

Designed for professionals working at the intersection of space operations, cybersecurity, and compliance, the program equips participants with the tools needed to understand, interpret, and implement space cybersecurity compliance frameworks within their organizations. 

Participants who successfully complete the program and pass the end-of-course quiz will receive the Indiana University Space Cybersecurity Compliance Digital Badge. 

Criteria for Earning the Badge: To earn the Space Cybersecurity Compliance digital badge, participants must complete the full three hours of live, in-person or synchronous instruction and successfully complete a knowledge assessment with a minimum score of 80%.
