Current CCSP syllabus · August 2026 ISC2 exam outline

CCSP exam domains and weightings effective 1 August 2026

The six accordions below summarise the official outline. EduDelphi exam strategy is clearly separate from ISC2’s official body of knowledge.

What changed on 1 August 2026? ISC2 refreshed the domain weights and subdomains to reflect current cloud-security practice. Candidates should use materials aligned to the post-August 2026 outline, including its more explicit AI/ML and current cloud-architecture context.
1. Cloud Concepts, Architecture and Design · 17%
  • Cloud models, reference architecture and shared considerations.
  • Secure design, cryptography, IAM, network and virtualisation security.
  • Resilience, provider evaluation and related technologies including AI/ML considerations.
2. Cloud Data Security · 20%
  • Data lifecycle, classification, storage, flows and discovery.
  • Encryption, key management, tokenisation, DLP, auditability and privacy controls.
  • Retention, deletion and evidence-led data-protection decisions.
3. Cloud Platform and Infrastructure Security · 17%
  • Infrastructure, network, compute, storage, container and workload-security decisions.
  • Configuration, vulnerability, lifecycle, change control and resilience practices.
4. Cloud Application Security · 16%
  • Secure software lifecycle, DevSecOps, application design and testing.
  • API protection, application IAM, secrets, third-party software and supply-chain security.
5. Cloud Security Operations · 17%
  • Monitoring, logging, incident response, forensics and operational assurance.
  • Configuration, vulnerability, continuity, recovery and service-provider oversight.
6. Legal, Risk and Compliance · 13%
  • Legal, privacy, audit, e-discovery and regulatory considerations.
  • Cloud risk management, governance, contracts, assessment and compliance context.
EduDelphi exam strategy & mock rehearsal
Practical cases, mock review, scenario analysis, weak-area prioritisation and revision planning are EduDelphi preparation methods, not a seventh ISC2 domain.
Self-study or live training?

Can I self-study for CCSP?

Yes. Strong, disciplined candidates can prepare independently using ISC2’s official outline and self-study ecosystem. EduDelphi is for professionals who want more structure around a busy role.

Self-study may fit when you:

  • Already work confidently across all six current domains.
  • Can identify weak areas and sustain your own study schedule.
  • Do not need live Q&A, case discussion or mock debriefs.
EduDelphi live preparation

Live support may fit when you:

  • Want explanations of difficult architecture, data and governance decisions.
  • Need structured pacing when work interrupts a study plan.
  • Value faculty questions, original cases, mock review and accountability.
Practical cloud-security learning

Practise the decision behind a cloud-security scenario

CCSP questions require judgement across architecture, data, operations and governance. Preparation works best when terminology is connected to evidence and a defensible next action.

Example learning scenario

A sensitive workload is moving to a cloud service

A team wants to launch, but data classification, IAM evidence, provider assurance and incident responsibilities are incomplete. Learners decide what must be clarified before recommending the move.

  • Separate provider responsibilities from customer responsibilities.
  • Examine data classification, IAM, logging and key-management evidence.
  • Assess supplier assurance, resilience, response and exit planning.
  • Connect the recommendation to a clear risk owner.
Official route

CCSP exam format, experience and certification route

ISC2 controls the official CCSP process. Training can begin before your experience is complete, but full certification has separate experience and application requirements.

100-150 CAT items

Multiple-choice and advanced item types over three hours.

700 scaled score

Current passing score on ISC2’s 1000-point scale, not a direct percentage.

Pearson VUE

Current official CCSP exams are scheduled through Pearson VUE test centres.

Experience requirement

Full CCSP certification

ISC2 currently requires five cumulative years of IT experience, including three years in cybersecurity and one year in one or more current CCSP domains.

  • A relevant post-secondary degree or CSA CCSK may waive one year only.
  • An active CISSP can satisfy the full CCSP experience requirement.
  • Passers without the experience may become an Associate of ISC2 and have six years to earn it.
  • Complete the post-exam certification or Associate application and endorsement process within nine months.
Fees & maintenance

CCSP course fees and official ISC2 exam cost by region

Career relevance

Where can CCSP support a cloud-security career?

CCSP preparation is relevant when professionals need a shared way to reason about cloud architecture, controls, data, operations and risk. It does not guarantee a role, salary or promotion.

Kashif is a CCSP credential holder who supports learners through concept review, question interpretation, scenario analysis, mock debriefs and structured revision planning. His approach connects the ISC2 outline to cloud architecture, data protection, IAM, operations, governance and risk decisions.

Faculty perspectiveCloud-security decisions improve when shared responsibility is made explicit.

In scenario review, the focus is on what the cloud provider owns, what the customer owns and what evidence shows that the control is operating as intended.
