Hello all,  I noticed the CBK is 4th edition, but the official study guide and practice tests books are 3rd edition. Is the actual certification exam based on 3rd edition or 4th edition? And does anyone know the differences between the two? I don't want to purchase all three books if the exam is not going to contain 4th edition materials.   Thanks!   Mike R View More

I'm looking for anyone who has recommendations for CCSP Prep. Tips, Best Practices. I purchased the On-Demand Cert Prep Course and CCSP Official Study Guide that has practice tests you can take in the book and online. I'm thinking of using a similar approach I used to prep for my CISSP. Take the Online Course, Read the Book, Take Practice Tests. I figure allocating 1 hour each day M-F to complete these tasks and then when I'm at a point where I'm scoring high on test exams, I figure I'm ready. View More

Hi Everyone,   I appeared for CCSP exam on 25th Oct but could not clear it. In 6 domain,2 are above proficiency( Domain 1 n domain 5)  and 2 are near proficiency but data security is below proficiency.  Now I want to use free retake exam policy https://www.isc2.org/landing/free-exam-retake  I have dropped an email to examadministration@isc2.com  for this.   Can anyone guide me for this ?

I (provisionally) passed the CCSP exam today. Good luck to the next one!   Related Certifications Dec-2019: Certificated as CISSP (attended official training） Dec-2019: Certificated as CCSK by CSA (attended official training）   Relevant Work Experience Developed security guidelines for AWS, Azure and GCP users based on CIS Benchmarks Developed security guidelines for users of cloud services based on CIS Controls and ISO/IEC 27017 Support for CASB demonstration experiments Support for defining digital workplace requirements (zero-trust security)   Motivation for taking CCSP exam To provide an opportunity to relearn cloud security experience in a systematic and comprehensive way To be a pioneer since there is probably no one in our company who has taken CCSP   Study period and time Period: July 4, 2021 - October 5, 2021 Daily time: 1 to 2 hours/day Total time: about 140 hours   Materials used CCSP Official Practice Tests Online Test Bank (Chapter 1 - 6) Textbook of CCSK Plus (CCSK official training) CSA Guidance V4.0 CCSP For Dummies with Online Practice (Kindle version)   Collaborators Japan Chapter's Cloud Security Study WG members Several people who replied to my questions in (ISC)2 Community Experts in my company   Study procedure Each day, I solved 20 questions of the material #1 First, I focused on extracting questions that I got wrong, and ones that I got right but wasn't confident about (setting flags). Next, I re-solved the questions I got wrong, flagged the questions I got right but wasn't sure about, and repeated until I got all the questions right. Then, as I solved the flagged questions, I removed the flags from the questions that I got wrong and the ones that I answered correctly and with confidence. Finally, I repeated steps 3 and 4 until I answered all the questions correctly and the flags were removed.   Mindset When I am in a questions-setting situation in the consulting field, I ask myself if I can accurately give correct advice to my client with reasons. First of all, try to clear my doubts by using the materials and the Internet. If I still have questions, ask them first to the WG, then to the experts or to (ISC)2 Community, and leave no question unclear.   Thoughts on the exam I left about 40 minutes after finishing the exam and felt it was easy to finish the exam in 180 minutes. There were many unfamiliar words and questions that I had never seen before, but I think I was able to cope with them because I had a deep understanding of each question in CCSP Official Practice Tests. I was a little worried that I had not read through CCSP reference books such as the material #4, but it was not a problem. As expected, I feel that I was able to organize, cover, and strengthen my knowledge of cloud security. View More
