Why was SACP™ developed?
Increasingly, the most valued assets of organizations are their information resources. Collaborative work environments, network communication and remote work, have exponentially increased cyber threat vulnerabilities. While technical tools designed to protect information assets remain important, numerous research studies and surveys reveal that human errors are the most significant contributor to security breaches.
The SACP™ certification was developed in response to the recognition that establishing an organizational security-aware culture is among the most effective means of preventing costly data breaches.
The SACP™ certification mark will recognize individuals who have successfully passed the H Layer Credentialing’s SACP™ certification examination and maintain certification requirements, as set by H Layer.
