The Validation Board


The Institute’s validation process has been developed by industry professionals from a range of security backgrounds to independently recognise and benchmark your security experience, qualifications, training and professional commitment.

It is an evolving process which is constantly reviewed and updated to ensure it reflects today’s security profession.

The validation process is completed anonymously; this means  even if an applicant is known to members of the Validation Board, it is only possible to award membership grades based on the information and supporting evidence submitted as part of the application.

The guardians of the validation process are known as the Validation Board. This is a voluntary team of 40 security professionals representing a wide range of sectors in the profession and all grades of membership within the Institute. On a regular basis between 10 – 14 members will attend the monthly Validation Board meeting to review all applications and recommend grades for approval by the Board of Directors.

VB members are appointed by invitation of the VB Chairman. There is no maximum number however it is important that sufficient members are available from across a range of disciplines at each VB meeting throughout the year.

The list of current VB members is provided below and if you are interested in finding out more about being a member of the Validation Board, please contact our Membership Registrar, Paula Stanbridge via: paula@security-institute.org or call on (01803) 663275.
