Professional Assessment Board (PAB)

2014 saw a significant development in ISMI as a new Professional Assessment Board (PAB) of CSMP-certified professionals became operational.

ISMI has handpicked a global team of practicing security managers and consultants who have demonstrated exceptional ability and qualification in their field.

This ensures that CSMP candidates will be peer-assessed by CSMP-certified professionals of the highest calibre, and provides a continuous improvement mechanism that maintains the relevance, applicability and currency of the course materials.
