BCS - CISMP Course
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

"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!"
