The Global Standard for the Security Management Practitioner

Certification plays an important role in the security industry by identifying high professional standards. As an indicator of qualifications, certification is documented evidence of competency and experience.

It is an objective means of distinguishing highly skilled security practitioners from those who claim to be. In today's security environment, professional certification is required for those high-level security positions that are most sought after.

Where a person has not previously held an ASIS International certification that is not renewed within the ASIS International Rules, it is expired. A person with an expired certification cannot advertise any ASIS International certification i.e. cannot use any relevant post-nominal (CPP, PSP or PCI) that is expired. Advertising an expired certification is unethical, false and misleading. Such activity can be subject to disciplinary action, prosecution and litigation.

Where a person has never held a certification and purports to hold any ASIS International certification, the Chapter will vigorously pursue (with public exposure) prosecution for fraud including false and misleading conduct under Australian consumer law.
