I am not from the U.K, but do currently live there and the best explanation of what CHECK certification that I have found can be found in the link below. My understanding is that CHECK or IT Health CHECK Service was developed in order to qualify companies in the private sector to provide IT security health check services to government in line with HMG policy. It's one of those certifications most people seem to have heard of but not many seem to have a good explanation for....

Can anyone fill me in what that means? It doesn't seem to refer to Checkpoint certification (e.g., on the FW-1 firewall). I've tried to stay on top of all the security certifications available out there, but I've never heard of this one before. > > > > Thx, > > Mike Smith > > CISSP, CISA > > > > > > > **************************************************************************** ************ > Official winners of the UK IT Recruitment Service of the Year - Computing Awards for Excellence 2000 & 2002 > Official winners of the Network Recruitment Consultancy of the Year - Networking Industry Awards 2001 & 2002 > Winner of the Best Advertisement in Information and Technology - RAD Awards 2001 & 2002 > Winner of the Computing Awards Recruitment Advertisement of the Year 2002 > > Best International Group Plc Registered in England No. 3246014 > > London (Head Office) +44 (0)20 7300 9000 > Bristol +44 (0)117 945 9000 > Birmingham +44 (0)121 335 9000 > Manchester +44 (0)161 942 9000 > Scotland +44 (0)131 524 9000 > > This email is confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual to whom it is addressed.
