FITSP-Designer

The FITSP-Designer (FITSP-D) is the "architect" credential of the Federal IT Security Professional suite. While other certifications might tell you what the rules are, the Designer track is specifically built for the people who engineer and develop the security controls to meet those rules.

This role-based certification designed for IT Security Architects, Engineers, and Developers working within the federal sector. It validates that you can take complex requirements from the NIST Risk Management Framework (RMF) and translate them into functional technical, management, and operational controls.
