Sponsor Levels and Benefits
Becoming a Sponsor of The Cyber Scheme benefits everyone.
Our Sponsors have contributed massively to ongoing initiatives created by The Cyber Scheme, not least the genesis of the UK Cyber Security Council, development of our IoT training course and support in helping shape what the future looks like from entry level to Red Teaming and beyond.
Our relationship with our Sponsors primarily aims to support the professionalisation of our industry, as well as additional projects as outlined below. We don’t ask for membership fees, preferring to allow organisations to participate as much as they can afford by way of gifted time or resources.
Sponsors are asked to assist us by providing time and/or resources specifically for:
- Examination development or creation
- Assessing for Chartered status, which will be funded and sponsored by The Cyber Scheme
- Creating examination questions for inclusion across Associate and CSTM through to full chartered CSTL and Red Team Management
- Providing access to facilities so that The Cyber Scheme can run face to face exams in various geographical locations.
In return, as well as the ongoing discounts for our CSTM and CSTL exams, we are offering to fund eligible individuals through application and first year membership of the Council at full Chartered level.
Sponsors are also offered a regular face-to-face meeting with staff from The Cyber Scheme – we want to be able to discuss, and get a greater understanding of, the issues you see holding back your business or the industry as a whole and to explore how The Cyber Scheme can help, including providing access to Government and regulatory bodies, developing new standards and supporting entry level career starters.
