Certification Programme

From Foundation level certification which requires a candidate to pass two test modules covering the major principles, design concepts, and management processes of Enterprise Security Architecture, up to Master level certification which demonstrates advanced competencies and leadership in a chosen area of specialism, the SABSA certification framework is suitable for Security Architects at all career levels.  There are three levels of qualification:

  • SABSA Chartered Foundation (SCF) Certificate
  • SABSA Chartered Practitioner (SCP) Certificate
  • SABSA Chartered Master (SCM) Certificate

SABSA Chartered Security Architect – Foundation Certificate (SCF)

The SABSA Foundation Modules (F1 & F2) are The SABSA Institute’s official starting point for developing Security Architecture Competencies.  They are designed to create a broad-spectrum of knowledge and understanding of the SABSA method, its frameworks, concepts, models & techniques.  Theories and concepts are put to the test in ‘proof-of-concept- style case study exercises and workshops so that candidates can understand how SABSA is best applied to meet the challenges of the real world.

SABSA Chartered Security Architect – Practitioner Certificate (SCP)

Advanced training modules required to obtain Practitioner certification expand a candidate’s delivery capability far beyond the knowledge of comprehension tested at Foundation level into a practical demonstration of the development and demonstration competencies to apply SABSA and achieve valuable results for the benefit of the organisation and the individual.

Advanced Course module options are:

A1 – Advanced SABSA Risk, Assurance & Governance

A2 – Advanced SABSA Architecture Program Management

A3 – SABSA A3 – ARCHITECTURE DESIGN DEVELOPMENT

A4 – Advanced SABSA Incident, Monitoring & Investigations Architecture

A5 – Advanced SABSA Business Continuity & Crisis Management
