Education, Accreditation and Certification

Mission of NSRB

     The National Standards Registry Board (NSRB) was established by the International Standards Institution of Governors (ISIG) to foster worldwide information systems security principles and to support professionals responsible for performing that work. 

With the advent of hard-hitting laws like Sarbanes-Oxley and HIPPA, it will be increasingly necessary for executive managers to provide concrete evidence, both to their shareholders and to external agencies, that they have satisfied the requirement of these laws.  Implementation of the principles of the IBOK will fulfill the requirements of both.  That is why a mastery of these principles is so important.

The purpose of the NSRB is to grant individual and corporate  certifications of these principles.   As such, the role of the NSRB is to authenticate those practices that continuously ensure the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information. 

The NSRB accomplishes this through education and accreditation programs, founded on an authoritative and globally recognized common body of knowledge.  Practically the NSRB underwrites the granting of these credentials as well as their registry with the Governing Body.
