The ISMG Premium Annual Membership is a means for information security and risk management professionals to further their education through targeted online training courses. Premium Annual Members enjoy access to the entire ISMG webinar content library, and have the ability to access said webinars at any time.

Besides being able to attend unlimited webinars, Premium Annual Members gain access to a transcript-tracking interface which details all of the webinars attended along with other content accessed on the ISMG network of websites. Through this interface, Members are able to print “Proof of Attendance” certificates which may be used towards securing CPE certificates. Other features and enhancements will soon be released (see section below on Membership 2.0 Enhancements).

Information security and risk management professionals in any industry will benefit from the ISMG Premium Annual Membership. The majority of presentations are purposefully designed so that any information security and risk management professional, regardless of industry, will be able to enhance their understanding of each topic presented.

While industry conferences do afford some level of networking opportunities, the fact is that much of what goes on at these conferences does not include true education and learning. With an ISMG Premium Annual Membership, you can be assured that each and every training webinar is 100% focused on true education and career advancement. In addition, there are no travel expenses, time out of the office, or non education-based social interaction.

A subset of our training webinars do focus on more technical topics, however the majority are produced for non-tech professionals. Besides technology-focused training webinars, we offer classes dealing with governance and management, compliance, fraud, vendor management, and business continuity/disaster recovery.

An ISMG Premium Annual Membership persists for 1 year from the date of registration.

You can purchase an ISMG Premium Annual Membership directly through one of our websites or via a dedicated account representative. We accept credit card payments, checks, and electronic funds transfers.

There are two different types of Premium Annual Memberships – Single and Corporate. Single Memberships are meant for one individual; if you’d like to add other people you should upgrade to the Corporate Membership which allows up to 5 individuals to be included. If you have more than 5 individuals you’d like to include in the Membership, contact your account representative for bulk pricing options.

ISMG offers Single Annual Memberships meant for one individual, or Corporate Annual Memberships which accommodate up to 5 individuals. We also offer bulk pricing options for more than 5 individuals or to accommodate an entire organization.

CPE credits are granted by certification organizations only. Many certification organizations allow professionals to include user-specified training when obtaining CPE credits. In such circumstances, the certification organization has the right to audit each professional’s user-specified training. If this happens, the user must provide proof from the organization that provided the training that they did, in fact, participate in the training class. We offer “proof of attendance” certificates which can be used in such circumstances.

We are not an official training sponsor for any certification organizations, however Premium Annual Members have the ability to print “proof of attendance” certificates which may be used towards securing user-defined CPE credits.
