According to
ISIS, Certified Protection Professional (CPP) is a designation awarded
to candidates whose primary responsibilities are in security management
and who have demonstrated advanced knowledge in security solutions and
best business practices.
To take the CPP exam one
must have earned a bachelor's degree or higher from an accredited
institution of higher education, plus 7 years of security experience,
including at least 3 years in responsible charge of a security function.
For those without a degree, 9 years of security experience would be
required.
The CPP exam requires that
you complete 200 multiple-choice questions covering tasks, knowledge,
and skills on the following 8 topics:
-
Security Principles
-
Business Principles
-
Personnel Security
-
Physical Security
-
Information Security
-
Emergency Practices
-
Investigations
-
Law and Regulations
Coverage is extensive - so
extensive that I wouldn't recommend taking the test until you are fully
drilled on these various topics. You know what, I personally think the
CPP Guide by Muuss and Rabern (2006) is excellent - it covers almost all
the essential security topics that you need to know to tackle most
topics, except for Information Security, which has yet to receive
the deserved coverage. That is why we came up with this special study
guide - the Mastering Information Security Guide for CPP Exam Candidate.
You may think of our guide as the unofficial supplement to Muuss's CPP
Guide, or you may view it as a standalone guide with a focus on
Information Security from a professional perspective.
Information Security is an
emerging topic. As of the time of this writing it is worth 5.5% of your
total score, which is no big deal if you score really well in the other
subject areas. If, however, your performance is pretty marginal on
average then this 5.5% could make a brutal difference.
We understand that many
protection professionals are strangers to the dynamic world of
Information Security. Therefore we created this special guide with an
attempt to help people out - to help them do well on the CPP exam. In
fact, our guide is the only product on the market that fills the gap
between traditional security knowledge and the various emerging issues
on information security.
Below is the TOC of this
special guide for your review.
