Support from International leader in Business Continuity Management, positions SCIPP International as the industry leader in security awareness training

(JULY 29, 2008)-- SCIPP International, a global non-profit organization dedicated to providing world-class security awareness training and certification services, has announced that it has received an endorsement of its security awareness course content and its proprietary body of knowledge known as SCIPP GAP (Generally Accepted Practices) as it pertains to disaster recovery, from the Business Continuity Institute-USA Chapter.

SCIPP's proprietary Security Awareness training and certification program satisfies organizational compliance requirements for security awareness as defined in the Payment Card Industry (PCI-DSS), the Federal Information Security Management Management Act (FISMA), the Gramm-Leach Bliley Act (GLB), the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX), the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) Guidelines, and other industry specific bodies that regulate reporting and best business practice requirements.

SCIPP has developed its course series as a low-cost, turnkey program made up of an interactive, customizable 30-minute eLearning system complete with a non-technical post assessment that provides companies with the ability to track organizational metrics such as course completion and individual scores in order to be able to document their organization's compliance requirements - all accessible using a standard internet browser.

'It is our mission to develop, deliver and manage world-class security awareness training and certification programs and one way that we support this is by aligning our organization with recognized world leaders in specific Information Security disciplines,' said Dow Williamson, Executive Director of SCIPP International. 'Receiving a strong endorsement from Kathleen Lucey, President of the BCI-USA Chapter gives us the confidence that we are indeed offering the most up-to-date, relevant and compelling information available and we will continue to vet our programs through the brightest minds around the globe.'
