Our Purpose

Elevating the Cybersecurity Landscape

We’re committed to championing vendor-neutral certifications in information security, privacy, and related IT disciplines. To advance the craft and practice of certification program development through best practices such as ISO standards (17024) and to provide a forum to collaborate and to educate the community on matters of shared concern. We work with governments, corporations, and standards bodies worldwide to help them upskill and hire high-quality IT and cybersecurity professionals.

How Certification Helps to Validate the Cybersecurity Workforce

  • Provide the industry with factual information on how C3 certifications accurately validate knowledge, skills and abilities of the workforce. 


  • Where appropriate, promote a common cybersecurity certification message to the community and provide them with accurate information regarding the benefits of these certification programs. 

Explore C3 Ethics

At C3 we strive to consistently demonstrate fulfillment of the rigorous requirements of accreditation standards, schemes, and programs via recurring assessments. For these reasons C3 and its partner organizations operate with ANAB accreditation.
