To obtain full C|CISO status, candidates must meet the experience requirements by having a minimum of 5 years of experience in at least 3 of the 5 domains.
The required experience must be earned while the candidate remains current with the Associate C|CISO credential (annual fees and professional education credits).
After gaining the required experience, Associate C|CISO certification holders will have their experience verified with EC council before being approved to take the C|CISO exam.
Training prior to taking the C|CISO exam is optional, as the Associate C|CISO already completed the training earlier. If a long period of time has elapsed since taking the training, we advised candidates to retake the training to understand current C|CISO program materials.
If the candidate’s Associate C|CISO certification has lapsed, they must reapply for the C|CISO program and follow the standard C|CISO application process from the beginning
