CESG has developed a framework for certifying IA professionals who meet competency and skill requirements for specified IA roles.
The purpose of certification is to improve the matching between public sector requirements for IA expertise and the competence of those recruited or contracted to provide that expertise.
The framework:
- Has been developed in consultation with government departments, academia, industry, the Certification Bodies and members of the CESG Listed Advisor Scheme (CLAS);
- Includes a set of IA role definitions and a certification process;
- Is consistent with ISO 17024, 'Conformity Assessment - General Requirements for Bodies Operating Certification of Persons'
Please refer to the CESG certification for IA professionals and the Guidance to CESG certification for IA professions for further guidance:
