FrameCyber Certification

At Decision Framework Systems, we realize that Cybersecurity Risk Management is not an easily mastered knowledge domain. To close that gap, we offer cybersecurity professionals an opportunity to enhance their skills in Cybersecurity Risk Management via a comprehensive certification program, which itself provides Continuing Profession Education (CPE) credits that may be used to support more general cybersecurity and risk management certifications.

The program is designed to empower its participants to evaluate cybersecurity risk in the context of decision support. It links information on cybersecurity events, issues, assessments, and controls to specific risk indicators that contribute to quantifiable metrics.

Participants who successfully complete the program will receive a Certification in FrameCyber (CFC) certificate and a record of Continuing Educational Credits earned. Participants who partially complete the program can download a record of Continuing Educational Credits earned to date at any time. More details are available here.
