www.isecom.org - SERVICES - TRAINER & TRAINING CERTIFICATION


ISECOM serves as the certification authority for the following exams:

As a certificaton authority, we bring the ISECOM trusted brand and expertise to 3rd party training while accrediting the examination process to assure exam questions are fairly written and graded with no 3rd party influence on the outcome, training feedback is collected at ISECOM and evaluated to assure anonymity if so preferred by the sender, mitigating the quality of the training materials, and any distribution may be offered through ISECOM's accredited training partners with a strong intellectual and ethical commitment to high-quality training.

The calendar of our International Training Schedule is updated monthly.

BENEFITS
ISECOM is a very well known security authority and resource. The benefits of being associated with ISECOM and earning certification through ISECOM is valuable for assuring applied project knowledge as well as the following benefits:

  • Major international industries from banking to manufacturing and the military rely on ISECOM projects like the Open Source Security Testing Methodology Manual (OSSTMM) for thorough security tests in the areas of Communications, Information, Internet Technology, Wireless, Process and Physical security. An ISECOM certification will highlight a person's and an organization's ability to work within the context of ISECOM projects and provide practical solutions.
     

  • ISECOM certifications are prestigious validations of a person's applied knowledge and skills. ISECOM certification holders are in demand in the workplace with the professional skills and resourcefulness required for merging security with business.
     

  • ISECOM certification holders are part of an elite group of security professionals who have proven in both an academic and a proficient way that they are ethical, knowledgeable and resourceful for testing and analysis of international security and privacy laws, and capable of providing their project experience in an efficient manner.

  • ISECOM certification requires security professionals to view the big picture often on an international level which includes multiple security definitions translated from various languages as well as the individual nuance of regional security and privacy laws. Understanding the international experience is a highly sought skill for organizations of any size that cross over national boundaries.


TESTING PROCESS
Exams are generated based on objective measurements. The exams are hands-on labs which require test-takers to apply multiple skills and sources of knowledge. Questions are chosen for their ability to provoke efficient knowledge application as well as clarity to non-native, English readers. The exams are 4 hours long and in a multiple-choice format. The exams are generated in accordance to the Test Data Center which is housed and administrated by La Salle URL University, Barcelona, and managed for proper access control with the assistance of ISECOM Associates.

ISECOM requires that all certification exams be "real-world compatible". For this reason, all exams are open book and the test takers may use the full resources of the Internet if available or any materials brought or provided. Another benefit is that the test takers are free to use any
testing tools they are comfortable with on any operating system they can provide if the default install is not acceptible. The only exceptions to the real-world compatibility requirements are for proper skill and knowledge measurement by not allowing communication either online or in the classroom and not allowing automated tools in knowledge management or security verification during the exam.

All exams are available separate from the training courses. No person is required to take the training course to sit for the exam.
