GSLC — GIAC Security Leadership Certification
GIAC's security leadership and management certification covering security program management, risk governance, policy development, compliance management, project management, and security team leadership. DoD 8140 approved. Sits at the management layer — validates governance and program competency rather than technical security skill. Complements technical GIAC certs like GCIH or GCFA for practitioners who have technical credentials and need to document management development. A solid option for security managers and team leads who want a GIAC-branded management credential to complement their practitioner certs.
