your administrator to monitor progress and compliance. SANS updates the

threats and critical controls. You can use it online through SANS Virtual

Purchasing Process:
SANS has set up two MS-ISAC client portals for these procurements, one for
Securing the Human and one for OnDemand/Voucher Credits. Orders will need to
be placed separately and will generate separate invoices, however a single
payment can be made to SANS for multiple invoices. Payment will be due to SANS
by PO, credit card or check request during the purchasing window. For those
using a PO, payment will be due 30 days after the close of the purchasing
window. The Securing the Human client portal,
https://www.securingthehuman.org/programs/ms-isac, is available to register and
request test accounts only at this time. Both client portals will be fully
operational on June 1. At that time, a reminder email will be sent with more
details including the URLs.
