The NCSC-Certified Training and the Chartered Institute of Information Security's (CIISec) accreditation enables organisations to distinguish between reputable courses and the ones that have not been validated using a Government-endorsed assessment process. Launched in October 2016, the NCSC or National Cyber Security Centre is headquartered in London and brings together expertise from CESG (the information assurance arm of GCHQ), the Centre for Cyber Assessment, CERT-UK, and the Centre for Protection of National Infrastructure. The Chartered Institute of Information Security (CIISec) is the only pure-play information security institution to have been granted Royal Charter status and is dedicated to raising the standard of professionalism in information security. CIISec represents professionalism, integrity and excellence within the information and cyber security sector.
