Prerequisites and ISC² Eligibility
Experience Requirements
(ISC)² requires a minimum of 5 years cumulative, paid work experience in IT, of which 3 years must be in information security and 1 year must be in one or more of the 6 CCSP domains. These six domains correspond to the major areas of cloud security knowledge (cloud architecture, cloud data security, etc.). This ensures CCSP holders have both broad IT/security experience and focused cloud security experience .
Education Waiver
A relevant 4-year college degree (or an approved cybersecurity certification) can waive 1 year of the required experience. Notably, if you already hold the (ISC)² CISSP certification, it can substitute for the entire CCSP experience requirement. (In other words, CISSP holders are immediately eligible to be certified CCSP upon passing the exam.) Also, the Cloud Security Alliance’s CCSK certificate can waive 1 year of experience in a CCSP domain .
Associate of (ISC)² Option
If you don’t yet have the required experience, you can still take the CCSP exam. Upon passing, you’ll be designated as an Associate of (ISC)² in the CCSP category. As an Associate, you get up to six years to accumulate the required work experience and then earn your full CCSP certification . Many professionals choose this route to immediately validate their knowledge while working towards the experience – we will advise you on how to plan your journey if you go this path.
Endorsement Process
After you pass the CCSP exam, (ISC)² requires an endorsement by an (ISC)² certified professional (someone who holds CCSP or another (ISC)² cert in good standing) to attest to your work experience. This endorsement process must be completed within 9 months of passing the exam. Wiseman’s instructors will explain all the eligibility rules clearly and assist you in preparing your endorsement application. We’ll ensure your documentation is in order so you can smoothly become fully certified.
Continuing Requirements
Like all (ISC)² certifications, CCSP holders must maintain their certification by earning Continuing Professional Education credits and paying annual maintenance fees. Specifically, you need to earn 90 CPE credits over a three-year cycle (about 30 CPEs per year on average) and pay an annual maintenance fee to keep your CCSP active. We will provide guidance on how to earn and log CPEs (for example, attending webinars, conferences, writing articles, etc. related to cloud security) so you can sustain your credential in the long run.
Unsure if you meet the prerequisites? Talk to us! We offer free consultation to review your background. If needed, we can recommend preparatory steps (for example, if you need a refresher on cloud basics or networking fundamentals) before you start the CCSP class. Our goal is to set you up for success regardless of your starting point. Even if you’re new to cloud security, with the right dedication and our support, you can clear the CCSP exam and then accumulate experience thereafter.
Course Curriculum: All 6 CCSP Domains
Wiseman CyberSec’s CCSP course covers all six domains of the official CCSP Common Body of Knowledge (CBK), with in-depth instruction and discussion for each domain. Each domain module includes expert-led lectures, real examples, and practice questions to reinforce understanding. Below is an overview of the six CCSP domains and what we cover in each:
Domain 1 – Cloud Concepts, Architecture and Design
This domain provides the foundational knowledge of cloud computing needed for cloud security. We cover the fundamental cloud concepts (on-demand self-service, scalability, multi-tenancy, etc.) and the different cloud service models – IaaS, PaaS, SaaS – and deployment models (public, private, hybrid, community) . You will learn about cloud reference architecture frameworks and components of cloud infrastructure (compute, storage, networking, virtualization). Crucially, we discuss secure design principles for cloud architecture, ensuring that security is built into cloud system designs from the ground up. By the end of Domain 1, you’ll understand how to evaluate and compare cloud service providers, identify security responsibilities under the shared model, and design cloud architectures that meet business and security requirements.
Domain 2 – Cloud Data Security
Domain 2 focuses on protecting data in the cloud. We delve into data lifecycle management in cloud environments – how data is created, stored, used, shared, archived, and destroyed in the cloud . You will learn about data classification in the cloud (identifying sensitive data) and implementing appropriate controls based on data sensitivity. Key techniques covered include encryption and key management for cloud data (ensuring data confidentiality), tokenization and masking to anonymize data, and Data Loss Prevention (DLP) strategies to prevent unauthorized data leakage . Another important aspect is ensuring legal and regulatory compliance for data in cloud – understanding data privacy laws, data sovereignty issues (where cloud data is geographically stored), and cloud provider contract terms around data security. By the end of this module, you’ll know how to keep data confidential and intact in cloud storage, manage encryption keys (perhaps using cloud KMS services), and design cloud data storage architectures that meet compliance requirements . We also cover data discovery tools for finding where sensitive data resides in cloud systems, and information rights management (IRM) to enforce who can access data and what they can do with it
Domain 3 – Cloud Platform and Infrastructure Security
Domain 3 covers securing the core cloud infrastructure (the “cloud fabric” of compute, network, storage). We start by ensuring you understand all the components of cloud infrastructure – virtualization technologies (hypervisors, virtual machines, containers), software-defined networks, storage systems, and the cloud management plane . With that foundation, we discuss how to design secure cloud infrastructure. This includes securing data center facilities (physical security controls for cloud data centers) . We also cover business continuity (BC) and disaster recovery (DR) planning in a cloud context – designing backup and recovery strategies, using multiple availability zones/regions, etc., to keep cloud systems resilient . By the end of Domain 3, you will be capable of planning and implementing comprehensive security controls for cloud platforms and integrating them with organizational BC/DR plans to maintain operations even under disruptive events. , implementing network security in cloud (virtual firewalls, segmentation, secure network configurations), and hardening the virtual machines and cloud services. Risk assessment is a key part of this domain – you’ll learn to evaluate risks in a cloud infrastructure and address vulnerabilities (for example, multi-tenant isolation risks, hypervisor exploits, insecure APIs)
Domain 4 – Cloud Application Security
This domain is all about securing software and applications in the cloud. We cover how traditional application security concepts apply in cloud environments and introduce cloud-specific challenges. Key topics include secure software development life cycle (SDLC) practices for cloud apps – you’ll learn how to “shift left” by incorporating security from requirements to design, development, testing, and deployment. We discuss common cloud application vulnerabilities and how to mitigate them (for example, securing APIs and interfaces, protecting against injection attacks or misconfiguration). Cloud software assurance and validation is another emphasis – using techniques like static and dynamic application security testing (SAST/DAST) to evaluate cloud app security . Containerization and microservices security are also discussed as they relate to cloud app architecture. By the end of Domain 4, you’ll be equipped to work with development teams to build secure cloud-native applications, assess application security postures, and ensure that security is continuously maintained even as cloud apps scale and evolve. . Identity and access management for applications is covered in depth: we teach how to integrate Identity and Access Management (IAM) solutions into cloud apps, including federated identity and single sign-on, to ensure only authorized users and systems access application data
Domain 5 – Cloud Security Operations
Domain 5 focuses on the operational side of cloud security – the ongoing processes and administrative activities needed to secure cloud environments. A significant component here is Identity and Access Management (IAM) in the cloud (sometimes considered part of operations): you’ll learn to manage cloud user accounts, roles, and permissions effectively to enforce least privilege and prevent unauthorized access . We cover how to build, run, and manage cloud infrastructure from an operations perspective . We also go over digital forensics in cloud – how to collect and preserve evidence if a security incident occurs in a cloud environment (considering volatile data, provider cooperation, etc.) . Another aspect is maintaining communications with relevant parties (internal teams, cloud providers, customers) during operations and incidents . By the end of Domain 5, you will know how to run a secure cloud environment day-to-day – monitoring for threats, responding to incidents, managing identities, and continuously improving security operations to adapt to new cloud threats. . This includes provisioning and configuration management (using Infrastructure-as-Code tools securely), applying patches and updates to cloud systems, and monitoring the health and performance of cloud resources. You will learn to implement operational security controls and standards – for example, change management processes for cloud configurations, configuration monitoring, and incident management procedures tailored to cloud incidents
Domain 6 – Legal, Risk and Compliance
The final domain addresses the governance, risk, and compliance issues unique to cloud computing. We cover the myriad legal requirements and regulations that organizations must consider when using cloud services – data protection laws (GDPR, CCPA, etc.), industry standards (like PCI-DSS for cloud-hosted payment systems), and how different jurisdictions’ laws can impact cloud data and operations . You’ll learn about privacy issues in the cloud, such as cross-border data transfer restrictions and ensuring proper handling of personal data in cloud systems . An important component is understanding cloud security audits and assurance – how to approach auditing a cloud provider or cloud environment, what frameworks (like ISO 27017/27018 for cloud security/privacy) can be used, and what adaptations are needed for traditional audit processes in the cloud . We also cover contractual security – analyzing cloud service contracts and SLAs for security provisions, understanding roles and responsibilities in cloud agreements, and ensuring the contract covers things like data ownership, breach notification, and continuity of service . By the end of Domain 6, you’ll be able to confidently navigate the compliance landscape in cloud computing, ensuring that your organization or clients remain compliant and that cloud-related risks are managed effectively.. We discuss cloud risk management, teaching you to identify and evaluate risks introduced by cloud adoption (e.g. vendor lock-in, multi-tenant risks, outages) and to incorporate cloud into enterprise risk assessments
Each domain module in our curriculum not only prepares you for the CCSP exam content, but also provides practical context so you can apply this knowledge. We frequently discuss real examples (e.g. notable cloud breaches and how controls could have prevented them, case studies of cloud migrations gone wrong or right) to illustrate the concepts. By covering all six domains in depth, our course ensures you finish with a 360° understanding of cloud security – ready to tackle the exam and to implement cloud security best practices in your job.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
The CCSP training is primarily theory-focused, as the certification exam itself tests conceptual knowledge across cloud security domains. However, we do include practical elements where relevant. The course features some guided demonstrations and scenario-based exercises (for example, reviewing cloud configuration settings, or walking through an AWS security setup) to illustrate the concepts. These activities help you see how theory translates into practice. But unlike pure technical courses, there aren’t extensive hands-on labs for CCSP – it’s more about understanding principles and best practices. Rest assured, our interactive approach keeps the sessions engaging despite the heavy theoretical content.
We provide comprehensive exam preparation support as part of the training. This includes mock tests (practice exams to simulate the real CCSP exam experience) and a large pool of practice questions covering every domain. After each domain, we discuss sample questions to reinforce your understanding. We also offer one-to-one mentorship if you need help with study plans or specific topics. However, the official CCSP exam voucher is not included in our course fees. Candidates must purchase the exam voucher and schedule the exam directly with (ISC)² (through Pearson VUE). We will guide you on how to do this, but the voucher cost is separate. By not bundling the voucher, we give you the flexibility to book your exam at your convenience (and perhaps take the exam when a promo discount from (ISC)² is available). So in summary: exam prep materials and guidance – yes!; exam voucher itself – no (separate purchase required).
No, we do not offer an “exam pass guarantee” or a free retake voucher. Be cautious with such guarantees – providers that do are usually bundling the cost of a retake or have conditions attached. Our philosophy is to equip you so well that a retake won’t be necessary! We put our effort into delivering a high-quality course and extensive preparation resources. While we can’t guarantee an individual’s exam result, we are proud of our high pass rates and confident that if you fully participate in the training and follow our study recommendations, you’ll pass the CCSP exam on the first attempt. In the unlikely event you don’t pass, we will be there to support you – we can provide additional coaching and you can even join a subsequent batch’s sessions on tough topics to reinforce your knowledge.
The course is approximately 40 hours of live training in total. We typically schedule this either as an intensive one-week program or spread over weekends in about 40 to 48 hours of instruction (for example, over several weekends) to accommodate working professionals. This ~40 hour duration is the standard in the industry for CCSP training, as it provides sufficient time to cover all six domains in depth. In addition to the live class hours, we recommend allowing extra time for self-study and practice questions after class to solidify your understanding. If needed, we can adjust the pacing or provide a few additional hours of doubt-clearing – our goal is to ensure you grasp all the material, rather than rigidly stick to a clock. But generally, expect roughly 40 hours of instructor-led learning. All sessions will be planned in advance in our training calendar, and you’ll have breaks and Q&A periods integrated to keep the learning effective.
The CCSP certification is awarded by (ISC)² (International Information System Security Certification Consortium), the same nonprofit organization behind certifications like CISSP. To earn CCSP, you must pass the official CCSP exam administered by (ISC)². The exam is a computer-based test with 125 multiple-choice questions (with a 3-hour time limit) that you take at an authorized Pearson VUE testing center. Our training will guide you through the exam registration steps: you’ll create an account on the (ISC)² website, pay the exam fee (or use a voucher if you have one), and schedule a slot at a Pearson VUE center near you. The exam tests you on all six CCSP domains – during our course, we will familiarize you with the exam format and question styles. Once you pass the exam and meet the experience requirements (as described earlier), (ISC)² will certify you as a CCSP. We’ll also assist in understanding the post-exam endorsement process. Essentially, WisemanCyberSec prepares you for the exam and helps with the logistics, but the certification exam and credential are managed by (ISC)² itself.
Each domain module in our curriculum not only prepares you for the CCSP exam content, but also provides practical context so you can apply this knowledge. We frequently discuss real examples (e.g. notable cloud breaches and how controls could have prevented them, case studies of cloud migrations gone wrong or right) to illustrate the concepts. By covering all six domains in depth, our course ensures you finish with a 360° understanding of cloud security – ready to tackle the exam and to implement cloud security best practices in your job.
