Congratulations to all the new CSCP´s out there!

Another Security Culture Summer Camp is over, and five weeks of learning how to build and maintain security culture is over for now. During the summer camp, students — security professionals — from around the world have learned how to use the Security Culture Framework to build and maintain security culture in their organizations. It is with great pride I can congratulate another batch of Certified Security Culture Practitioners (CSCP) — more fantastic people to help organizations enhance their security by applying the principles of the Security Culture Framework.

Congratulations, all CSCP´s!

Who are these CSCP´s, anyway?

People and organizations around the world recognize the importance of good security culture to reduce the risk and impact of security incidents due to the human factor. There are two typical types of participants who join and complete the Security Culture Summer Camps:

• Internal Awareness Officers — this is a group of people who work with security culture and awareness internally in an organization. They are focused on creating a good process of ongoing security awareness, and to document the security behavior change internally. Their actual titles vary, as does their location in the organization — from security professionals, compliance officers, via HR and training. Organizations who consider security culture a critical area sign up several participants to ensure the best results
• Consultants — this group typically serve a number of clients, and help build and maintain security culture on behalf of their clients. Some consultants manage the whole process including executing the security culture program, others facilitate the process. No matter how the consultant and the client choose to work together, both parties recognize the value of the Security Culture Framework in building and maintaining good culture.

The Certified Security Culture Practitioner (CSCP) provide both organizations and consultants value by documenting the knowledge of the practitioner, access to a global network of other CSCP´s and a clear statement that security culture is taken seriously.
