Intermediate-level security awareness and governance certifications are geared toward non-technical professionals, compliance officers, developers, and managers who influence organizational security but may not be directly responsible for configuring security systems.

These credentials emphasize topics such as security policies, human risk management, secure behavior reinforcement, identity and access management principles, and understanding of organizational controls. Some also support developers or IT managers who work in secure coding or compliance frameworks.

These certifications are particularly valuable in enterprise environments where human behavior, compliance mandates, and business process alignment are key elements of a successful cybersecurity posture.

💡 Tip: These certifications are excellent for onboarding non-technical staff, reinforcing organization-wide security culture, and supporting roles in GRC, compliance, secure development, and training program management.
