FAQs

The SSCP is well-suited for professionals who are early in their cybersecurity careers or have limited hands-on experience.

In contrast, the CISSP is designed for seasoned professionals aiming for leadership or senior-level roles in cybersecurity.

Your choice between SSCP and CISSP should align with your current level of experience, career goals, and readiness to commit to a more rigorous certification.

Both certifications are highly regarded and can significantly strengthen your credibility and open doors to career advancement in the cybersecurity field. 

While the SSCP is often considered an entry point into cybersecurity for those with some technical background, absolute beginners may benefit more from starting with the ISC2 Certified in Cybersecurity (CC) credential.

The SSCP builds on foundational skills and is ideal for those ready to take the next step, whereas the CC is designed to help newcomers become comfortable with core cybersecurity concepts. 

To sit for the SSCP exam, candidates must have at least one year of paid work experience in one or more of the certification’s domains.

This requirement can also be met through paid or unpaid internships.

Alternatively, a degree in cybersecurity, computer science, computer engineering, information systems, or a related IT field can substitute for the experience requirement.
