ASIS International Board Certifications
The Global Standard for the Security Management Practitioner
Certification plays an important role in the security industry by identifying high professional standards. As an indicator of qualifications, certification is documented evidence of competency and experience. It is an objective means of distinguishing highly skilled security practitioners from those who claim to be. In today’s security environment, professional certification is required for those high-level security positions that are most sought after.
The Global Standard for Proficiency
Security has become a global issue. ASIS certifications are recognised and accepted worldwide as the standard of professional competency. In an era of globalisation, they are transferable across international boundaries and cultures. ASIS certifications provide businesses with a common language and ensure compliance with best security industry practices. Multinational companies increasingly seek board-certified security practitioners with internationally accepted security qualifications.
