Constant resistance to and lack of support for implementing and managing system security by the IT management staff are the bane of most Chief Information Security Officers (CISO’s).

IT managers do not provide this support for 3 reasons: they misunderstand security concepts and standards, they are overwhelmed by the complexity and constantly changing nature of the requirements, and they need guidance on necessary policy and procedures.

We have created three interactive and collaborative training solutions to correct these problems.

Security Success Workshop is a quick-paced, interactive, 1-day course targeted at introducing and shattering the myths surrounding IT security, and demonstrating the personal benefits of completing a Certification and Accreditation (C&A). This course covers the IT security basics, FISMA, C&A and provides the skills necessary to leverage the results to increase success.

Certification & Accreditation Course provides an introduction to the purpose and process of FISMA and how to conduct an effective C&A. The instruction is tailored to their organizations specific needs and regulations by conducting a review of their senior organization’s security guidance and policies.

CISSP/CAP Professional Review gives the IT security personnel structured review of all ten domains of the IT security and certification and accreditation process needed to pass the CISSP and CAP certifications. This is a must for anyone wanting to take the tests for these two certifications to meet new government requirements.

“Our data system program managers exercise a new respect for the practice of risk management which is demonstrated by a 200% increase in the number of requests for new risk assessment, certification and accreditations.”

– Joseph Eley, IT Security Team, Office of Information Technology, Health Resources and Services Administration
