Scott Ruddick:\u00a0Focus on a Chartered Security Professional<\/h1>\n

One of the most recent admissions to the Register of Chartered Security Professionals<\/a> is Scott Ruddick CSyP, a Canadian national who is the Director of Global Security with MEDA<\/a>, one of Canada\u2019s leading international aid and development organisations.<\/p>\n

We spoke with Scott about his reasons for becoming chartered and what it means to him:<\/p>\n

Why did you choose to become a Chartered Security Professional?<\/strong><\/p>\n

While there are a number of security certifications, it was the focus on the assessment and verification of strategic and higher operational-level competencies in security that was the driver for me in deciding to pursue becoming a CSyP. \u00a0I also liked the fact that it is an ongoing process that includes a requirement to demonstrate continuing professional development as well as adherence to a code of ethics.<\/p>\n

What difference do you think becoming chartered will make to you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It enables me to establish that my knowledge, skills and ability to implement sound security approaches have been assessed and validated in a thorough process, by industry experts and further validated by an external Registrar. It also connects me with a community of security professionals, to facilitate knowledge sharing.<\/p>\n

How are you hoping to contribute to the growth of professionalism in your location?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I work in the aid and development sector, an industry with some unique and substantial security challenges. I hope to showcase the CSyP as one methodology for aid and development organisations to ensure a high standard for their security staff selection, as well as their systems and procedures.<\/p>\n

How can we help you engage more with other CSyPs?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well, as someone who is in Canada, a robust virtual network will be important, as I won\u2019t be able to travel to many events in the UK, but I will be able to connect with fellow CSyPs through the virtual networks. I look forward to meeting fellow CSyPs both virtually, and hopefully in person!<\/p>\n
