ASIS International Chapter Mexico

What ASIS International Chapter Mexico does

ASIS International Chapter Mexico (legal name: ASIS Capítulo México, A.C.) is a Mexico City-based civil association founded in 1995 and operating as Chapter 217 of ASIS International, the global professional body for security management practitioners. The organization serves corporate security professionals, security managers, and practitioners in Mexico by administering four globally recognized ASIS certifications — Certified Protection Professional (CPP), Professional Certified Investigator (PCI), Physical Security Professional (PSP), and Associate Protection Professional (APP) — along with structured recertification pathways requiring 45-60 CPE credits per cycle.

The chapter's core technology and service stack is built around credentialing, training delivery, and member communications rather than software products. It offers in-person and virtual training programs of 100-136 hours to prepare candidates for certification exams, publishes monthly bulletins and ASIS International reports from 2020 through 2026, maintains a video-webinars library, and runs monthly member meetings and an annual event calendar. Its technology footprint consists of a public website (asis.org.mx) with member login, social channels (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest), and partnerships with industry publications (Mundo Empresarial, Más Seguridad, SEGURILATAM, Ventas de Seguridad, Seguridad en América). No APIs, mobile applications, AI features, or proprietary platforms are disclosed.

The revenue model combines individual membership dues (renewal at $3,750 pesos, approximately $190 USD), recertification fees ($140-$220 USD with an emerging-market tier), training and certification program fees, and a recurring corporate sponsorship program that includes vendors such as Grupo IPS, Grupo Multiproseg, ServiSeg, SEPSISA, Cosepros, Trust Care, Grupo Commander, and others, with several sponsors maintaining continuous relationships from 2021 through 2026. The chapter is privately operated as a Mexican A.C. (civil association) but sits under the governance and standards of ASIS International as its parent organization, and maintains mutual partnerships with regional bodies including ALAS, ANERPV, AMESIS, CNSP, FEPASEP, and the Foro de Profesionales Latinoamericanos de Seguridad.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• ISACA: Global professional association offering certifications (CISM, CISA, CRISC) for security, risk, and governance professionals. Competes for membership and continuing education spend from corporate security leaders.
• Security Industry Association (SIA): US-based trade association for security product and service suppliers. Comparable to ASIS in mission but supplier/manufacturer-facing rather than practitioner-facing, with overlapping Latin America outreach.
• ASIS International: Global parent organization of ASIS Capítulo México. Operates the worldwide ASIS network, owns the CPP/PCI/PSP/APP certifications, and sets the strategic direction that the Mexican chapter executes locally.
• (ISC)²: Global, non-profit membership organization offering cybersecurity certifications (CISSP, etc.). Competes with ASIS for the same corporate security professional wallet, particularly those whose roles span physical and cyber security.

Regional players

• Federación Panamericana de Seguridad Privada (FEPASEP): Pan-American federation of private security organizations spanning Latin America. Competes for cross-border industry influence and event participation alongside ASIS Capítulo México.
• Asociación Nacional de Empresas de Rastreo y Protección Vehicular (ANERPV): Mexican national vehicle tracking and protection association. Adjacent to ASIS's security management audience with overlapping membership and event sponsorship pools in Mexico.

Direct peers

• Asociación Mexicana de Empresas de Seguridad Privada e Industria Satelital (AMESIS): Mexican association of private security and satellite industry companies. Targets a similar corporate security audience in Mexico with overlapping event, training, and sponsorship offerings.
• Consejo Nacional de Seguridad Privada (CNSP): Mexican national private security council serving private security companies and professionals in Mexico. Directly competes with ASIS Capítulo México for Mexican security practitioner membership, events, and standards influence.
• Asociación Latinoamericana de Seguridad (ALAS): Latin American security industry association that competes for the same professional development, training, and certification audience across Spanish-speaking LatAm markets. ASIS Capítulo México explicitly partners with ALAS, indicating overlapping member bases.

Emerging players

• International Association for Healthcare Security and Safety (IAHSS): Industry-specific association offering healthcare security certifications (CHPA). Comparable niche professional certification model and represents a vertical specialization path ASIS could expand into in Mexico.
