Security and Compliance

Progent can provide prompt and affordable access to CISSP-certified information security consultants. CISSP is the most prized network security credential in the IT industry and indicates mastery of a global standard for network security. To be granted the CISSP credential, consultants must demonstrate extensive understanding of modern information security solutions and confirm years of hands-on field experience.

American National Standards Institute has awarded the CISSP credential formal recognition in the field of network security under ISO/IEC 17024. This represents the first time that an information technology credential has been assigned ANSI approval. CISSP is also officially approved by the United States Department of Defense in their Information Assurance Technical and Managerial (IAT and IAM) categories. In addition, CISSP has been approved as a baseline for the U.S. National Security Agency's Information Systems Security Engineering Professional program to protect the National Information Infrastructure.
