The purpose of the FITSP credential is to make Federal IT systems more secure by assuring that Federal civilian, military, and/or contractor staff who manage and operate them understand and can apply the appropriate Federal IT security standards. The FITSP certification program is role-based and documents the qualifications and specialized Federal IT security understandings of auditors, designers, managers, and operators of federal IT systems. By earning the FITSP certification credential, candidates will have demonstrated an in-depth knowledge of Federal IT security management, operational and technical control requirements as measured by the standards and guidelines of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), as well as other relevant Federal statutes and regulations.
