Identify that EC Council is a new competitor in certifications for security management. They offer a Certified CISO (CCISO) certification which tests security domain knowledge as well as knowledge of executive business management.
Establish the six domains that have certifications available that apply to information security management:
Security Awareness
Fundamentals
Core
Specialist
Advanced
Management
Arrange and provide the five domains that make up the Certified CISO (CCISO) certification which tests the knowledge of executive business management.
Governance and risk management
Information security controls, compliance, and auditing management
Security program management and operations
Information security core competencies
Strategic planning, finance, procurement, and vendor management
Gain awareness that before an executive or professional can take an exam, the EC-Council requires five years’ experience in at least three of the domains. As an alternate option as they gain experience, a ‘light’ version is also available.
