GSA Global is pleased to announce that Chief Executive Officer David Wood has successfully achieved Chartered Security Professional (CSyP) status, joining the Register of Chartered Security Professionals.
Chartered Security Professional status is widely recognised as the gold standard of competence in the security profession. The Register was established under a Royal Charter granted to the Worshipful Company of Security Professionals and recognises security practitioners who demonstrate the highest standards of professional competence, leadership and commitment.

Achieving CSyP status involves a rigorous assessment process. Applicants are independently assessed across five core competencies: security knowledge, practical application, communication, leadership and personal commitment. They must also demonstrate that they are making a strategic impact within their field. Chartered Security Professional
