ACEP is sponsored and operated by STP Ventures, LLC.  Our team continues to work together under the STP banner for over 15 years, and during those years we have grown, learned and innovated our way to the top tiers of cybersecurity and information technology.  Our experience ranges from the 2-person small business to multi-billion dollar enterprises.  Throughout the years there has been one constant:  The lack of a pragmatic and realistic certification for businesses to prove they are defending their data, without being tied up in miles of red tape, irrelevant controls and outdated concepts.

Thus, ACEP was born.  ACEP is the culmination of decades of top-tier experience in the cybersecurity and information technology fields.  Focusing on providing standards that are effective and achievable, while giving businesses the autonomy to meet those requirements in their own unique ways.

We are a Certifying Organization created and operated by executives and engineers in our fields, to speak directly to our peers and colleagues in all industries.  That's why our team provides tailored feedback on all applications and will listen to your team during the audit process to understand their approach and solutions.

ACEP is a straight-forward and achievable certification that will prove your organization is meeting industry best practices for cybersecurity.

​

We look forward to partnering with you for a cleaner and more direct path to certification.
