D827 Fundamentals of Information Security, completed for you
At a glance
Last updated
D827 Fundamentals of Information Security (ITAS 2111, 3 CUs in the September 2026 WGU catalog) is the security foundations course of the computing degrees: term 6 of the B.S. Computer Science, term 7 of the accelerated BSCS to MSCS track, and term 3 of the B.S. Cybersecurity and Information Assurance. Per the published description it lays the foundation for the terminology, principles, processes, and best practices of information security at local and global levels, plus basic vulnerabilities and countermeasures through planning and administrative controls. One caution: the B.S. AI Engineering runs a different code with the identical course name, D430 (ITAS 2110). Coursework Ninja completes D827 done-for-you, fixed quote in writing first. From $99. Independent of WGU.
D827 is the course security newcomers expect to be home turf and practitioners quietly re-book. Per the published description it lays the foundation for understanding terminology, principles, processes, and best practices of information security at local and global levels, then provides an overview of basic security vulnerabilities and countermeasures for protecting information assets through planning and administrative controls within an organization. That is a vocabulary and frameworks bar, not a hardening lab: the scored work grades whether security language is precise, whether countermeasures are classified correctly, and whether the planning and administrative layer is understood as a system. Students who configure devices for a living discover the assessment grades the framework behind the device.
Three tables carry it in the September 2026 catalog, in three different terms. On the B.S. Computer Science it lands in term 6 beside C683 Natural Science Lab, D686 Operating Systems for Computer Scientists, and C950 Data Structures and Algorithms II, the twelve-CU stack students describe as the degree's wall. On the accelerated BSCS to MSCS track it shifts to term 7 beside D794 Computer Architecture and Systems, E082 Linear Algebra for Engineers, and D281 Linux Foundations. On the B.S. Cybersecurity and Information Assurance it arrives early, term 3 beside D317 IT Applications, C957 Applied Algebra, and D315 Network and Security - Foundations, the lead-in to the certification courses that follow. The name trap is real: the B.S. AI Engineering table runs D430 (ITAS 2110), a different code carrying the identical course name, so quote by the code on your degree audit. Message us the code and where you stand, and we quote a flat price in writing.

What D827 completion covers
The D827 course assessment
WGU does not publish assessment formats in the catalog, and this description frames a foundations course without stating the scored format. We confirm the exact component list for your catalog year at intake, and the fixed quote covers whichever assessment D827 carries, the proctoring stack included when required.
The terminology-and-principles core
Terminology, principles, processes, and best practices of information security at local and global levels: the description's first sentence is the course's center of mass, and precise vocabulary is the bar.
Vulnerabilities and countermeasures
The overview of basic security vulnerabilities and countermeasures for protecting information assets: the identification-and-classification layer that hands-on practitioners often know by product name rather than by category.
The planning-and-administrative-controls layer
The description names the frame: protecting information assets through planning and administrative controls within an organization. Policy, process, and governance-flavored answers score here; tool walkthroughs do not.
The D827 versus D430 naming
Two codes share the identical course name. D827 is ITAS 2111 on the computer science and cybersecurity tables; D430 is ITAS 2110 on the B.S. AI Engineering table, whose own description keeps the no-prerequisites sentence. Either code is quotable, but the code on your degree audit decides which course you owe.
Full bachelor's plan integration
D827 alone is a single from $99. On a remaining computer science or cybersecurity list it folds into the flat $3,000 bachelor's package, every remaining CU under the written 6-month finish guarantee.

For computer science students it is the non-programming course inside the hardest term; for cybersecurity students it is the vocabulary gate before the certification stack. These are the stalls we take over most often.
Hands-on practitioners answering from product experience when the scored bar is principle and process vocabulary.
BSCS students postponing it behind C950 and D686, then losing the whole term-6 stack to scheduling.
Security controls known by vendor name while the course grades the administrative-controls framework behind them.
Cybersecurity students assuming it is the Security+ course: that alignment sits later in the degree, at D329.
The D430 confusion at intake: the identical course name on the AI Engineering table at a different code.

Questions, answered
Per the September 2026 WGU institutional catalog, Fundamentals of Information Security (ITAS 2111, 3 CUs) lays the foundation for understanding terminology, principles, processes, and best practices of information security at local and global levels, and provides an overview of basic security vulnerabilities and countermeasures for protecting information assets through planning and administrative controls within an organization.
Per the current catalog, three tables: term 6 of the B.S. Computer Science beside C683, D686, and C950, term 7 of the accelerated BSCS to MSCS track beside D794, E082, and D281, and term 3 of the B.S. Cybersecurity and Information Assurance beside D317, C957, and D315. If your degree plan shows ITAS 2111, this is the course.
They share the identical name but they are different codes on different tables. D827 is ITAS 2111, running on the B.S. Computer Science, the accelerated BSCS to MSCS track, and the B.S. Cybersecurity and Information Assurance. D430 is ITAS 2110, and the September 2026 catalog prints it only on the B.S. AI Engineering table at term 7, with a description that keeps the no-prerequisites sentence. Both have their own completion pages. Quote by the code on your degree audit.
No. D827 is WGU's own foundations course on security terminology and principles, with no industry certification named in its description. In the cybersecurity degree, the CompTIA Security+ aligned course is D329 Network and Security - Applications, later in the table. We complete both; this page is the foundations course.
WGU does not publish assessment formats in the catalog, and the description frames a foundations course without stating the scored format. We confirm the current format for your exact catalog year at intake, and the fixed quote covers whichever assessment the course carries.
One course starts at $99, with the exact figure fixed in writing once we know where you stand. On a longer remaining bachelor's list, the bachelor's package is $3,000 flat with the written 6-month finish guarantee covering every course on the plan, this one included.
No. Coursework Ninja is an independent paid completion service, not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Western Governors University. WGU provides its own instructors, mentors, and evaluators; Coursework Ninja is separate, for students who want this course finished on a fixed date.
