Has anyone obtained the SSCP after CISSP? Appreciate it’s a stepping stone to obtaining it but I’ve been recommended to look at it as I’m keen to further enhance my technical knowledge aa my role entails undertaking technical assurance assessments.
Have 20 years experience and lots of other certs but just keen to I) keep up CPE’s and II) enhance technical knowledge for work related reasons.
From what I see SSCP is pretty much for someone with only 1 year experience, so not sure if it goes into depth regarding technicality. I obtained CISSP 10 years ago.
I did look at CGRC but from what I can tell it’s RMF process related, I’m looking to enhance knowledge of technical security controls as part of my work in undertaking security architecture and assurance assessments.
I never did the SSCP in the end as I have been told its more for beginners.
I have done the CCISO cert, so if you have any questions let me know. It was an interesting cert and covered key aspects of what a CISO would get involved with. Things like day 1 security governance, day 2 finance, day 3 project management etc etc.
Good to know thanks. CCISO is tailored for a different market if compared to CISSP/CCSP. Its specifically covering CISO level topics such as risk, compliance, governance, finance etc. If your role needs such skills then its a good one to explore, otherwise little point. I have found the SANS courses the best personally out of everyone as they have some great ones catering for different audiences.
