Access Control
& Security Systems

ASIS International has introduced two new technical certifications -- Professional Certified Investigator (PCI) and Physical Security Professional (PSP). The new programs augment the Certified Protection Professional (CPP) program launched by ASIS in 1977.

The PCI certification is the designation for those whose primary responsibility is to conduct investigations. The PSP designation is for those whose primary duty is to conduct threat surveys; design integrated security systems that include equipment, procedures and people; or for those who install, operate, and maintain these systems.

These two new programs will help employers identify those who have worked for and obtained advanced knowledge and skill in these areas. For more information on the PSP and PCI certifications programs, visit asisonline.org
