COURSE HISTORY

The Certified Information Systems Security Officer Course and Certification were developed as result of the Combined Defense Information Systems Management (CANUS CDISM) initiative between the Department of National Defense of Canada (DND) and the Department of Defense of the United States (DOD).

In the CANUS CDISM Memorandum of Understanding #19741001181 the following is stated:

1. The CDRSN National Information System Security Officer (ISSO) is the focal point for all security issues pertaining to this network.
2. The Director Information Management Security (DIMSECUR) is the DND authority for security assessment of the CDRSN, including the approval of Interim Authority to Process (IAP) and Authority to Communicate. With these initiatives in mind, Mile2 created a certification for the ISSO called the Certified Information Systems Security Officer. The C)ISSO training and certification program prepares and certifies individuals to analyse an organization’s information security risks and to design a security solution to mitigate these risks. To summarize, C)ISSOs are proficient in risk analysis, risk mitigation, application security, network security, operations security and business continuity.
