Who We Are & What We Do

We are the pre-eminent providers of official and accredited SABSA Training and Certification in the world. Led by David Lynas (co-author of SABSA, SABSA Institute CEO, and principal author of SABSA Institute’s intellectual property) we offer more SABSA courses, in more locations, than all other SABSA Accredited Education Partners combined. And, as you would expect, we have the highest average examination scores of any AEP.

All of our SABSA courses are either led by David Lynas in person or by a highly-experienced faculty hand-picked by David.

SABSACourses operates as the Classroom Training division of David Lynas Consulting Limited and we currently manage and operate all SABSA Courses previously branded by ALC Training Limited for and on behalf of ALC. Both ALC Training Limited and David Lynas Consulting Limited are SABSA Accredited Education Partners.

SABSA – Changing the Security & Architecture Landscape

SABSA – the world’s leading free-use and open-source Security Architecture development, management method and framework is changing the landscape!

With SABSA Chartered Architects in 50 countries around the world, SABSA is transforming Information Security, Risk Management, and even Compliance & Audit, from ‘Business-Prevention Departments’ to ‘Centres of Business Enablement’.

Inspiring a generation to create business-driven architectures and solutions, SABSA does not start with technical matters such as firewall configuration but focuses on the creation of models and frameworks to enable business opportunities while remaining within the demonstrable risk appetite of the real stakeholders, and establishing real traceability from business requirements to solutions.

SABSA is a globally proven methodology for developing business-driven, risk and opportunity focused Security Architectures at both enterprise and solutions level that traceably support business objectives. It is also used widely for Information Assurance, Audit & Compliance Architectures; Risk Management Frameworks; and to align and seamlessly integrate security and risk management into Enterprise & IT Architecture methods and frameworks.

SABSA is comprised of a series of integrated frameworks, models, methods and processes, used independently or as an holistic integrated enterprise solution, including:

• Business Requirements Engineering Framework (known as Attributes Profiling)

• Risk and Opportunity Management Framework

• Policy Architecture Framework

• Security Services-Oriented Architecture Framework
