The Associate Cyber Security Professional title is our new entry-level professional title, designed for those at the start of their careers in cyber security. An Associate Cyber Security Professional will have demonstrated competence within key areas of cyber security knowledge and is either employed in an early career cyber role, or ready for their first role in cyber security.

Becoming an Associate Cyber Security Professional allows individuals to join the UK’s Cyber Security Professional Register. This means you’ll become a registered cyber security professional and will be able to use the post-nominals ACSP after your name. For the first time, general applications are open for the Associate title. Applications open during set windows throughout the year. Currently, applications are open from 13th April - 17th May.
