SABSA Foundation

The SABSA Foundation Modules (F1 & F2) are the SABSA Institute’s official starting point for developing Security Architecture Competencies. SABSA Foundation Training is designed to create a broad-spectrum of knowledge and understanding of the SABSA method, its frameworks, concepts, models & techniques.

Theories and concepts are put to the test in ‘proof-of-concept’ style case study exercises and workshops leaving candidates with a real-world understanding of how SABSA is applied.

SABSA is the leading open-use method for delivering cohesive information security solutions to enterprises. The SABSA Framework ensures that the security needs of your organisation are met completely and are designed, delivered and supported as an integral part of your IT management infrastructure.
