ABISCF

Vision

The ABISCF facilitates a common understanding of standards, in the areas of information security and digital forensics, through training and credentialing programs established under the American Board for Certification in Homeland Security (ABCHS) to support Homeland Security Initiatives.

Mission

Our mission is to provide information security and computer forensics practitioners in the private, NGO and government sectors with training and/or certification to facilitate their knowledge and growth to support the current prescribed response frameworks. In pursuing the mission our goals are to:

• Utilize subject matter experts and partners in assessing, articulating, and meeting their training needs regarding information security and computer forensics as they relate to homeland security issues.
• Provide a certification framework to serve as the standard in both information security and computer forensics.
• Provide written and practical tests to ensure uniformity in standards for performance across all levels.
• Establish and provide training to agencies and organizations that do not have expertise or resources to do it themselves.
• Establish and provide an open and engaging communications process between the organization, its members, potential members and certification candidates.
