The Consulting Team

 

The Wordsworth & Associates Team are seasoned certified security professionals, many of who have obtained their certification as certified information Systems Security Professionals (CISSP), SANS Certified Global Information Assurance Professional (GIAC) and/or Information Systems Professional of Canada (I.S.P.)

The C.I.S.S.P. was first developed to help identify professionals who had the knowledge base, ethics and commitment to manage information systems security for government and industry. The C.I.S.S.P. is recognized worldwide as a symbol of professionalism and accomplishment in the field of Information Systems Security.

The SANS (SysAdmin, Audit, Network, Security) Institute was established in 1989 as a cooperative research and education organization. Its programs now reach more than 165,000 security professionals, auditors, system administrators, network administrators, chief information security officers, and Chief Information Officer’s who share the lessons they are learning and jointly find solutions to the challenges they face. At the heart of SANS  are the many security practitioners in government agencies, corporations, and universities around the world who invest hundreds of hours each  year in research and teaching to help the entire information security community.

The I.S.P. is a Canadian Information Processing Society (CIPS) administered designation awarded to IT professionals who have met the required education and industry experience and have demonstrated a commitment to professional ethics. The I.S.P. is the only legislated professional designation for Information Technology professionals in Canada. It was introduced in 1989, by the Canadian Information Processing Society (CIPS) www.cips.ca . Until then, IT practitioners were without the benefits such a professional designation offers.
