About PECB

What is PECB?

PECB — the Professional Evaluation and Certification Board — is a globally recognised certification body that has been building professional competence for over 20 years. It trains and certifies individuals and organisations in areas that define the future of work: information security, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, data privacy, risk management, and business continuity.

Global Recognition

PECB certifications are accepted and respected in more than 150 countries. A PECB credential tells employers and regulators that you have met a rigorous, internationally benchmarked standard — not just a local qualification.

ANAB-Accredited

PECB's certification programmes are accredited by ANAB (ANSI National Accreditation Board) — one of the most respected accreditation bodies in the world — giving every credential the highest level of independent verification.

100,000+ Professionals Certified

More than 100,000 professionals across government, finance, healthcare, technology, and industry have been certified through PECB — making it one of the most trusted names in professional certification globally.

ISO-Aligned Standards

Every PECB certification is built around internationally published ISO/IEC standards — the same frameworks that governments, regulators, and multinational organisations use to benchmark compliance and competence.

The Value of Certification

Why Pursue a PECB Certification?

A PECB certification is more than a piece of paper. It is a signal — to employers, regulators, and clients — that you have met a rigorous, internationally benchmarked standard.

Career Advancement

Certified professionals consistently command higher salaries and are preferred in hiring and promotion decisions. In a competitive market, a recognised credential is a decisive differentiator.

International Credibility

PECB certifications are recognised in over 150 countries. Whether you work locally or aspire to global roles, your credential travels with you and is understood everywhere.

Organisational Trust

Organisations that employ PECB-certified professionals demonstrate to clients, partners, and regulators that they take AI governance and cybersecurity seriously. Trust is a competitive advantage.

Regulatory Readiness

Governments and regulators worldwide are adopting AI governance and cybersecurity standards. Certified professionals are better positioned to guide their organisations through compliance requirements.

Practical, Applied Knowledge

PECB courses are designed for working professionals, not academics. You learn frameworks, tools, and governance approaches you can apply in your organisation the following week.

Proof of Competence

Unlike attendance certificates, PECB credentials require passing a rigorous examination. They prove that you have actually understood and can apply the content — not just that you were in the room.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions About PECB Certification

Yes. PECB certifications are internationally accredited by ANAB and recognised in over 150 countries, including South Africa. As AI governance and cybersecurity frameworks based on ISO standards become more widely adopted by South African regulators and private sector organisations, the relevance and demand for these credentials is growing rapidly here.

Not necessarily. Foundation-level certifications are designed for anyone who works with or around AI and cybersecurity — including managers, compliance officers, auditors, and executives. Lead Implementer and Lead Auditor levels do benefit from some prior exposure to the relevant standard, but technical coding or engineering skills are not required. We can advise which level is right for your background.

A certificate of attendance confirms you were present for training. A certification confirms you passed a rigorous exam and demonstrated competence against an internationally defined standard. PECB certifications are the latter — they require passing a proctored examination, making them meaningful proof of ability that employers and regulators trust.

Training ranges from 2 days (Foundation) to 5 days (Lead Implementer and Lead Auditor). The examination is typically taken on the final day of training or shortly after. Once you pass, you apply for the credential through PECB's certification portal. The entire process from training to certified status can be completed within a few weeks.

ISO/IEC 42001 is the first international standard specifically designed for Artificial Intelligence Management Systems (AIMS). Published in 2023, it provides a framework for organisations to develop, implement, and govern AI systems in a way that is ethical, transparent, and accountable. As governments and regulators increasingly require evidence of responsible AI use, ISO/IEC 42001 is becoming the benchmark. Companies like AWS and others have already pursued this certification to demonstrate their commitment to ethical AI.

ISO/IEC 27001 is the world's most widely adopted standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS). It defines how organisations should identify, manage, and reduce information security risks. Updated in 2022, it now covers information security, cybersecurity, and privacy protection across four themes: organisational, people, physical, and technological controls. Anyone responsible for protecting organisational data — from IT managers to CFOs — benefits from understanding this standard.

Yes. As an authorised PECB partner, Marble Technologies can arrange in-house delivery of PECB training programmes for teams within your organisation. This is particularly cost-effective for groups of five or more, and allows the training to be contextualised to your sector and environment. Contact us to discuss a tailored proposal.
