SSCP® - For Businesses
What is the SSCP®?
The Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) is especially designed for network and systems administrators who implement policies, standards, and procedures on the various hardware and software programs for which they are responsible.
(ISC)² credential holders are part of an experienced group of professionals who openly share their experience, ideas, tools and knowledge so all can benefit. A credentialed practitioner will have a competitive advantage in the labor market, professional recognition and the respect of their colleagues.
How will the SSCP benefit my employees and my organization?
- Credentialed professionals have already gained years of experience in the industry and have met a minimum educational standard. When you see an (ISC)² credential on a resume you know the candidate is qualified for the position.
- Professionals with (ISC)² credentials are required to acquire CPE credits every year to maintain their certification. This means that the candidate will continue their education as new challenges manifest themselves, solutions are found and new technologies are developed.
- Organizations such as the DOD and the MOD now require certifications for their information security personnel. If you are a service provider or sub contractor you will need staff with these credentials.
- SSCP certifications demonstrate a candidate’s knowledge of standards, ability to practice a code of ethics, and willingness to commit to a career in the information security field.
- The SSCP is an internationally recognized qualification as opposed to a regionally recognized qualification.
SSCP applicants must meet these guidelines before they take the examination:
- Have a minimum of one year experience in one or more of the seven (ISC)² SSCP CBK domains:
- access control
- administration
- audit and monitoring
- cryptography
- data communications
- malicious code
- risk, response and recovery.
