Candidates typically need 5 years of experience in at least 3 of the 5 CCISO domains. If you do not meet the experience requirement, you may take the exam but will receive the certification only after meeting the required experience criteria.

The CCISO program covers five key domains: Governance, Risk & Compliance Information Security Controls & Audit Management Security Program Management & Operations Information Security Core Competencies Strategic Planning, Finance & Vendor Management These domains focus on executive-level decision-making rather than hands-on technical skills.
