Security and Compliance

Progent can provide prompt and affordable access to CISSP-certified network security consulting experts. CISSP certification is the most esteemed cybersecurity credential in the IT industry and indicates mastery of a international standard for cybersecurity. To be granted the CISSP credential, consultants must demonstrate in-depth understanding of modern information security strategies and have years of hands-on implementation experience.

American National Standards Institute (ANSI) has awarded the CISSP credential formal recognition in the area of network security under ISO/IEC 17024. This represents the first time that an information technology accreditation has been given ANSI approval. CISSP is also officially approved by the United States Department of Defense (DoD) in their Information Assurance Technical and Managerial (IAT and IAM) disciplines. In addition, CISSP has been approved as a standard for the U.S. NSA's ISSEP initiative to safeguard the NII.
