The RSES

 

Who we are

The Register of Security Engineers and Specialists (RSES) is a members-only organisation that accepts membership only after thoroughly vetting the competence of engineers, applied scientists and specialists who apply their knowledge to securing the built environment and infrastructure.

As an organisation sponsored by the National Protective Security Authority (NPSA) and administered by the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE), we exist to promote excellence in security engineering. A field that is generally defined as ‘the design and application of physical, personnel and cyber protective security measures to protect assets and operations against malicious attacks such as terrorism, espionage and crime.’

We accomplish that objective by providing a benchmark of professional quality. This provides potential clients and insurers with the confidence they need to know that our registrants have achieved a recognized competence standard that was ascertained through a professional review process. Registrants are required to accept a code of ethics and have a commitment to continuing professional development.
