The Register of Chartered Security Professionals (CSyP) is pleased to announce that the Association of Security Consultants (ASC) has joined the Register of licensed organisations, marking an important milestone in the continued growth and development of the Chartered Security Professional (CSyP) designation.
Organisational licensing formally recognises and supports the CSyP designation, reinforcing the highest standards of professionalism, competence, and ethical practice within the security profession. The Association’s appointment as a licensed organisation reflects its clear commitment to professional excellence and to supporting the development of security practitioners across the industry.
The CSyP designation represents the gold standard for security professionals, recognising individuals who have demonstrated strategic leadership, professional influence, and a sustained commitment to continuing professional development.
Commenting on the announcement, Ian Dyson CBE, QPM, DL, Chair of the Chartered Security Professionals Registration Authority (CSPRA), said:
“We are delighted to welcome the ASC as the third licensed organisation of the Register of Chartered Security Professionals. The ASC’s commitment to professional standards aligns strongly with the values of the Register, and we look forward to their active participation in supporting the continued growth of the Register and the advancement of professionalism across the security industry.”
This partnership further strengthens collaboration between CSyP and organisations that share a commitment to raising standards, enhancing credibility, and promoting chartered status within the profession.
The ASC Chair, Gary Thomas, said “As the industry continues to evolve, expectations of those providing independent advice have grown. There is a need for consultants to continue upskilling themselves and be able to evidence their competence through demonstrable experience. By becoming a licensed organisation of the Register of Chartered Security Professionals, we are reinforcing our commitment to strengthening credibility and trust across the profession, while also encouraging more practitioners to pursue Chartered recognition.”
