At the UK Cyber Security council, we maintain the Standard for Professional Competence and Commitment against which applications are assessed, and hold the professional register.

We have approved a number of Licensed Bodies who handle your application and recommend to us whether you should be awarded a professional title. You can find out more about these bodies here.

Your Licensed Body will run your assessment and be your main point of contact for professional registration. They will review your CPD, process your renewals and revalidations, and can offer the opportunity to act as an assessor.

Different Licensed Bodies assess different titles and specialisms. As long as they assess the specialism and title you are applying for, you can choose which Body you want to apply through.

Please Note: If you are looking to gain your Associate Cyber Security Professional Title, which is our entry-level title, this is directly assessed by the UK Cyber Security Council. You can find out more, and apply, here.
