The Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) is a vendor-
neutral credential that reflects best practices in the cloud 
security field. This certification was designed by (ISC) 2 and the 
Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) to cover all current concerns and 
issues with cloud computing. After earning the CCSP credential, 
the applicant will have extensive knowledge and expertise in 
cloud security, including its design, operation, and service 
orchestration. The CCSP is a stand-alone credential that 
expands on and complements other educational programs and 
credentials, such as the CSA’s Certificate of Cloud Security 
Knowledge (CCSK) and the (ISC) 2’s Certified Information 
Systems Security Professional (CISSP).

The Advantages of CCSP
An indication of uniqueness: Unlike other certifications, the CCSP is backed by two 
respected non-profit organizations, the (ISC) 2 and the CSA.
Keeping up: The CCSP certificate can help candidates better understand cloud 
security practices and principles. Candidates who get this certification stay updated 
on changing technology, new strategies, and new dangers.
Versatility: Because the CCSP is a vendor-neutral certification, applicants can apply 
their expertise to various cloud systems.
Required experience
Candidates are expected to have a minimum of five years of IT work experience, of 
which three years should be in information security and one year of experience in 
any one of the domains.
By passing the CCSP test, a candidate who lacks the needed experience to become 
a CCSP can become an Associate of (ISC)2. After that, the Associate of (ISC)2 will 
have six years to complete the five years of experience required.
