A clearer structure

The Global Converged Security Board has reorganised its website so that organisations, professionals and members can find the right pathway faster. No programme, fee, standard or requirement has changed.

Trustmarks in three parts

The Trustmarks page is now divided into three parts, each reachable directly from the main menu:

  1. Organisational Accreditations - accredited programmes, courses, partners and Centres of Excellence.
  2. Organisational Trustmark - the tiered Trustmark for organisations, with programme details, fees and the free self-assessment.
  3. Individual Awards & Recognitions - GCSB-AI, GCSB-AC, GCSB-AA, FGCSB, DFGCSB and the GCSB-Registered External Auditor.

Membership Benefits

The Membership page now opens with a dedicated Membership Benefits section. The first benefit is the CSI Unlimited Learning Membership, available to publicly listed, active members of both GCSB and CSI. Further benefits will be added there over time.

GCSB certifies; the Converged Security Institute trains. GCSB does not provide training, consulting or audit services.

Converged Security Framework

The Converged Security Framework brings together the ten Standards, ten Implementation Procedures and ten Playbook Guidelines in one place, each archived on Zenodo with a permanent DOI.
