Look who's a CSDS - NAID celebrates industry expertise

As of February 1st, 23 industry professionals had successfully emerged from the first round of examinations for the association's new accreditation. In doing so, these individuals became among the first to achieve the Certified Secure Destruction Specialist (CSDS) designation now offered by NAID.

According to NAID CEO Bob Johnson, "Becoming a CSDS is a major achievement. Passing the examination requires an in-depth understanding of the secure destruction industry, including data protection legislation, secure destruction operations, physical security, records management, risk management, ethics, and NAID Certification." Johnson adds, "While there are some industry professionals who have a grasp of one or another of these areas, it is a remarkable accomplishment to demonstrate expertise in all of them."

NAID created the CSDS accreditation to promote and acknowledge a comprehensive understanding of the broad range of disciplines related to secure destruction. All of the CSDS applicants to date have participated in the 10-week CSDS webinar series held last fall.

"As evidence of the challenge presented by the curriculum and exam, over 20% of those who took the examination did not succeed," says NAID Deputy CEO Dustin McKissen.

Effective immediately, the following individuals may rightfully display the CSDS designation and will be so acknowledged on the NAID website:
