I took live, in-person training and I read the C|CISO Body of Knowledge to prepare for the exam. The most helpful sections of the training and BOK for me were the discussions on the various frameworks and the differences between them. After the class, I was tasked with creating a Third Party Oversight / Risk Management program for a client, and the framework references helped me customize the program to the industry and compliance requirements.

I took online training (iLearn) and I read the CCISO Body of Knowledge thoroughly to prepare for the exam. The CCISO BOK is a valuable resource that can be used as reference material. My experience going through the training program was excellent. CCISO is a recognized certification amongst CISOs and it has help me by showing that I have the skills other CISOs have also achieved. The CCISO program has helped me improve my security program. It is now more structured and based on domains.

The C|CISO BOK is a holistic approach to security and it helps me throughout my career, especially in Risk Assessment work. I took live, in-person training and read the C|CISO Body of Knowledge thoroughly to prepare for the exam. It was a rigorous training program. C|CISO is a conceptual exam and is therefore difficult because it does not rely on the memorization of facts but on the understanding of concepts. The C|CISO material has improved my job performance and is a must have certification. From the C|CISO program, I learned an abundance of knowledge in Risk Management and BCP/DRP which helps me to align my security program with the goals of the business.

I took live, in-person training. I enjoyed the institutional and program level focus of the CCISO vs some of the more technical areas from my other certs. The training provided me a contact or two that I continue to network with. Most of the other benefits revolve around providing additional terminology and talking point with which to converse with external parties and auditors. The focus on different risk and security frameworks caused us to dig deeper into the options and add and/or modify some of the controls in our existing framework.
