What is the NCSP 800-154 Awareness Certificate?

The NCSP 800-154 Awareness Certificate introduces foundational concepts from NIST SP 800-154: Guide to Data-Centric System Threat Modeling. It is part of the governed NCSP credential ecosystem aligned to NIST CSF 2.0 and the NIST SP 800-series.

How does this course align with NIST SP 800-154?

The course focuses on the core principles of NIST SP 800-154, including data-centric threat modeling, asset identification, adversary analysis, attack surface mapping, and the relationship between SP 800-154, SP 800-30, SP 800-37, and NIST CSF 2.0.

Who governs and maintains the NCSP 800-154 Awareness Certificate?

The NIST Cybersecurity Professional (NCSP) framework is a structured, NIST-aligned cybersecurity and digital trust workforce competency framework developed by CySec Professionals Ltd and governed by The Digital Trust Institute (DTI).

Is NCSP 800-154 Awareness considered official NIST training?

NCSP training is not generic NIST training. It is a governed credential ecosystem aligned to NIST CSF 2.0 and the NIST SP 800-series, with formal governance and stewardship by The Digital Trust Institute.

Who is authorised to deliver NCSP 800-154 Awareness training?

Only organisations formally authorised by The Digital Trust Institute may deliver NCSP training or assessments. Unauthorised use of NCSP identifiers is prohibited.
