Member Testimonials

See how we are helping our members thrive in the security sector.

My NCMS membership has presented many opportunities to partner in the community with other security professionals. I have benefited from the information sharing and I have a better security program as a result.

For the past two years, I was supporting a non-DOD customer but I knew everything that was going on within the NISP and DOD because of NCMS. Now that I’m back to supporting a DOD customer, there’s no need for me to get “caught up to speed” because I’ve been updated through NCMS.

Between the email [communication] and the NCMS training available, I always learn the most updated information that I need to know to keep up with the trends and what is happening in the security world.

Without question, the best security education and networking organization available. I love the ability to get helpful information from other members as well as from the website!

I don’t know how I managed in the past without my membership, but moving forward I know it’s something I cannot live without!

Excellent opportunity to network and exchange notes with my fellow FSOs. After all, we deal with the same Government customers... we face the same problems... and share our fixes... and successes...
