About The Institute of Cyber Digital Investigation Professionals (ICDIP)

The Institute of Cyber Digital Investigation Professionals (ICDIP) promotes, develops, and represents the professionalism, integrity and excellence of those operating within cyber digital investigations.

ICDIP was created to professionalise and upskill Law Enforcement Agency (LEA) cyber digital investigation individuals. However, it has expanded to include individuals from other organisations who undertake cyber digital investigations.

It provides organisations with confidence that individuals who achieve membership of the ICDIP have professional recognition and status for the specialist work that they perform on a day to day basis. The process has been designed following extensive consultation with stakeholders and LEAs to develop a skills and standards framework that captures the essence of the cyber digital investigation profession’s specialisms.

The accreditation process is an assessment of competency, involving a portfolio of evidence and interview (depending on the level applied for).
