Does ASIS plan to introduce any other certifications in the near future?
At present, ASIS and the Professional Certification Board are concentrating on promoting and supporting the CPP®, PCI®, and PSP® designations. Preparing new certifications takes an enormous amount of time and effort to develop the areas for testing, identify references, create and validate questions, etc. A large number of potential exam candidates is also a requirement, of course. Many people have suggested that ASIS should offer certifications in the rapidly growing computer/network security field. Our research into computer security indicates that there are several successful organizations and certifications already in existence. At this time it would be difficult to provide a new and unique certification in the computer security arena when so much is already in place.
