Overview
The Certificate in Information Security Management Principles (CISMP) is an entry-level security course. It's similar to MTA Security and CompTIA Security+ certification courses - but vendor neutral and not technical.
Our version of CISMP is largely based on the bespoke Cyber Crime PROTECT course. In addition to using the official BCS book, it includes:
- Network security elements: addressing key threats and vulnerabilities within an IT system and network;
- Law, regulation and ethics (based primarily on UK/EU standards, but also US regulations where applicable);
- Securing the infrastructure: more advanced network security-related content looking at technical and procedural controls when defending a network and IT infrastructure.
CISMP Prerequisites
There are no requirements for this course other than to be computer-literate.
Target Audience
The CISMP credential is widely recognised in the UK and is a good starting point for any professional within the security sector.
- IT Managers/Administrators (Security)
- CISM. CISO, CDPO
- Department Heads
- Police and Security Forces (Prepare/Protect/Prevent)
- Risk/Threat/Vulnerability Analysts
- Policy Makers

"The course was very comprehensive and well-paced. A very knowledgeable instructor and a great communicator, which made it much easier to learn all the elements necessary for a successful exam"
Andrew Robinson, City of London Police. (10/1/2023 (Tuesday) to 13/1/2023 (Friday))
"The instructor taught the course extremely well, there was a lot of material to condense into a short space of time and he made learning it much easier. The visual representations he provided really brought the course to life and made it much easier to understand and take in. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole course and will be able to use the information learned for my role in the future."
M.C, AJG. (10/1/2023 (Tuesday) to 13/1/2023 (Friday))
"I had planned on attending the CISMP at the Firebrand training facility but due to the current restrictions the course was changed to online. I was apprehensive on how this would pan out and pleased to say I was pleasantly surprised.
The course was very well structured and the instructor very knowledgeable and engaging. The only downside is that I have to wait to sit the exam but feel confident that I will be successful.
Well done Firebrand in such challenging times!"
