Today marks an important milestone for CySec Professionals Ltd and for the global cybersecurity and digital trust community. As organisations worldwide accelerate their adoption of NIST frameworks, we are expanding our wholly owned NIST Cybersecurity Professional® (NCSP®) portfolio to deliver the world’s first fully integrated, NIST‑aligned organisational capability and personal development framework.
The cybersecurity landscape is evolving faster than organisations can adapt, and the global workforce continues to face a widening capability gap. For years, enterprises have struggled to align personal development, workforce readiness, and organisational resilience with recognised standards in a way that is structured, measurable, and scalable.
Today, that changes.
With the expansion of the NIST Cybersecurity Professional (NCSP®) training portfolio to a full 48‑course ecosystem, CySec Professionals Ltd is proud to introduce what we believe is the first and only fully integrated, NIST‑aligned skills development framework available anywhere in the world.
Designed, owned, and governed exclusively by CySec, the NCSP® Framework now delivers a complete progression from NCSP® Awareness to NCSP® Foundation to NCSP® Practitioner, enabling organisations to build capability with the same precision and discipline that NIST brings to cybersecurity standards.
NIST Cybersecurity Professional (NCSP) Foundation Course Portfolio
This expansion is more than a portfolio update; it represents a strategic milestone for the industry. For the first time, organisations can adopt a unified training architecture that connects individual learning pathways with workforce development and organisational maturity, all aligned to the NIST Cybersecurity Framework and supporting NIST Special Publications.
Our mission has always been clear: to empower people and organisations with the knowledge, structure, and confidence to operate securely in a digital world. The expanded NCSP® ecosystem represents the next step in that mission, a global standard for NIST‑aligned cybersecurity skills development, built for individuals, enterprises, governments, and academic institutions seeking to raise capability at scale.
CySec Professionals Ltd remains committed to advancing the NCSP® Framework, strengthening its alignment with NIST CSF 2.0, and supporting the global community of professionals who rely on NIST guidance to protect their organisations.
Global IP is being consolidated, and NCSP® courses are being considered for independent evaluation through the UK National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) “NCSC Assured Training” scheme.
This is a proud moment for our team, our partners, and the thousands of learners who have trusted NCSP® to guide their development over the last six years. We look forward to continuing this journey with you.
Websites are currently being updated and new course dates will be released throughout 2026.
