Testimonials
"I have participated in Rob van Os’ SOC-CMM certificated Assessor course and can only recommend it. With SOC-CMM, Rob has combined the wide spectrum of experience gained from many seniors and experts in the field into the SOC-CMM maturity framework and this training teaches well on what to look out for when assessing a SOC. The passed exam is an industry-accepted standard to verify that you are indeed an expert in the field. It is worth it every penny."

Rob provided detailed walkthroughs of the SOC Assessment process by using the SOC-CMM Model and Tooling and answered all questions with connecting them to real-world examples.

The interactive discussions and knowledge sharing with other like-minded participants during the course were equally enriching, offering me different points of view and enhanced my understanding and approach to SOC Assessment and improvement."
