What is the NCSP 800-46 Foundation Certificate?

The NCSP 800-46 Foundation Certificate is a 2-day instructor-led course introducing participants to telework, remote access, and BYOD security concepts and practices as defined in NIST SP 800-46. 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 800-46?

The course focuses on the core principles of NIST SP 800-46, including secure telework architectures, VPNs, remote access technologies, endpoint security, BYOD governance, and the relationship between SP 800-46, SP 800-114, and NIST CSF 2.0.

Who governs and maintains the NCSP 800-46 Foundation 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 800-46 Foundation 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 800-46 Foundation training?

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