The centrepiece of ISMI is the Certified Security Management Certification (CSMP) award. The CSMP is an internationally-focused, high-level accredited certification in corporate security management. The 12-month fully-supported distance-learning programme is entirely self-contained (registration includes all study materials).

IMSI was established by a group of experienced security management education professionals with the aim of providing low-cost education and certification in security management to professionals who are unable to attend classroom courses.

The assessors are all highly-competent security management professionals who are in-situ security managers and consultants, who have each demonstrated excellence on the CSMP® programme.   Their combined experience is unparalleled.
