Going above and beyond requirements of NISP Enhancement Category 11

Going above and beyond requirements of NISP Enhancement Category 11 includes membership and attendance in Security Community Events.

Enrollment and attendance in security community and professional organization events demonstrates contribution and growth. For inspection purposes, be sure to collect sign-in sheets, training handouts and more importantly demonstrate application of lessons learned to show proof of your involvement. Monthly lunch meetings, working groups and other opportunities are places where members of a similar community meet to learn or solve common problems.

The National Industrial Security Program organizations include:

Industrial Security Awareness Council (ISAC)
