What our clients are saying

“I followed a CISSP course in a small group with ACTAGIS. Jeff teached with expertise, passion and profession. The complex subject of IT security was presented understandable and garnished with many real life examples. The atmosphere was intensive and forward oriented, but relaxed and fruitful. I’m really impressed and with no doubt I would follow, and recommend others to follow, courses with ACTAGIS”Harald Friedel – Project Manager & DPO

Jeff’s primary goal is not only to help you digest the material, but arrive at the examination with the right tools and the right confidence level so to maximize your chances to pass with flying colors. I recommend Jeff wholeheartedly and without reservations. Jeff is one of those rare sure bets!Massimo Marino – CDPO – Advanced Accelerator Applications

Having participated to the ISO 27001 LA training led by Jeff Primus, I was able to appreciate his value as a trainer both in terms of his technical skills and his extensive experience in auditing . Jeff is an experienced professional who communicates his knowledge with enthusiasm. This allowed me to succeed the certification exam. I would like to recommend ACTAGIS for the quality of their services and the perfect organization of this trainingStéphane Reuss – Audit interne Groupe Mutuel

I came from Paris to attend the ISO 27001 LI training which was led by a trainer of rare efficiency and having a real knowledge of the concepts coupled with a solid field experience. The training was based on theoretical fundamentals which were illustrated to us in a concrete way through workshops and group exchanges. The entire group succeeded the certification exam. Thanks again to ACTAGIS for their warm welcome, the quality of the training and their professionalismLotfi Adassen – Information Security Architect – Hitachi Automotive Systems Group

I had the pleasure to attend GDPR training provided by Jeff and ACTAGIS. The course was quite challenging in terms of material that required to be absorbed and Jeff made the work engaging, whilst providing good real case examples to the participants. He also explained the technical and legal parts very clearly for those who are not in IT or who has no legal background. I would happily recommend Jeff and ACTAGIS to those looking for an excellent and detailed insight. Clare Joyner, Legal Counsel, IMD

I participated to ACTAGIS Academy CISSP training. I definitely recommend this course to everyone who wants to succeed the CISSP exam. Jeff is an excellent trainer who knows how to vehicle the key messages enhanced with real life examples. Thanks Jeff for that excellent course ! Gilbert Caballer, IT Audit Expert, UBS

The BCI training based on solid experience and real life examples was provided by a very professional and patient mentor, Jeff Primus. Small group of participants is a great benefit for added value discussions. The training exceeded all my expectations. Andrey Afanasiev, Vice President, Risk Manager, RCB Bank Ltd

CISSP training given by ACTAGIS trainers, is intense and very complete. During the 5 days, you get home exhausted but with knowledge you did not have when started the day. The trainers use a methodology that helps you understand the concepts and the trap questions you might get in the exam. Totally worth it.Diego de Haller, IT Security Service Manager
