Physical Security Professional (PSP™)

Physical Security Professional

Important: Recertification Change Announcement

Today's employers want highly-trained professionals who have solid, hands-on experience with both current and emerging security technologies and solutions. This means that there are multiple areas in which physical security specialists must be knowledgeable.

The physical security certification will separate those who have this technical background from those who do not, giving them that professional edge.

The physical security examination is targeted to security professionals whose primary responsibility is to conduct threat surveys; design integrated security systems that include equipment, procedures, and people; or install, operate, and maintain those systems. The test consists of multiple-choice questions covering tasks, knowledge, and skills in:

  • Physical Security Assessment
  • Establishing security system requirements and performance specifications
  • Outline criteria for pre-bid meeting to ensure comprehensiveness and appropriateness of implementation
