A Practitioner will have practical experience in cyber security and be a practitioner operating at a level at which their professional expertise is being used effectively in their role.
The UK CSC SPCC sets out a clear assessment criteria, taking into account existing qualifications/certifications and experience.
The Minimum Qualification Level (standard) states the level of knowledge required for each Professional Registration Title. Candidates will be able to prove they meet the minimum standard either by holding relevant qualifications or by demonstrating a portfolio of equivalent learning.
The examples of evidence documented in the UK CSC SPCC are intended as examples and guidance to help identify activities that might demonstrate the required competence and commitment for professional registration. Evidence will vary with each individual. Examples should not be considered as complete or prescriptive and other types of evidence may be valid.
Practitioner Cyber Security Professionals should demonstrate:
their knowledge, understanding and experience relating to their role, some understanding of cyber security in its wider sense, and should be able to demonstrate practical experience within their career.
that they have reasonable communications and interpersonal skills.
that they understand the need to develop management skills and have carried out some supervisory activity within a cyber security environment.
that they understand and apply integrity, morals, and ethical values.
that they carry out and plan for continued development of themselves and the cyber security profession.
