On August 1, several changes will be made to the CCSP exam. We are excited to share that the CCSP exam will be available in four more languages. Currently, the CCSP exam is available in English and Japanese. We will also be offering the CCSP exam in Chinese, Korean, German and Spanish beginning in August.  

In addition to these new languages, we will be updating the length of the CCSP exam. As announced earlier this year for the CISSP exam, 25 pre-test (unscored) items will be added to the exams in all languages. These items do not impact the pass/fail result of a candidate’s exam, but they are indistinguishable from operational (scored) items, so if you’re taking the exam, you should consider each item carefully and select the best possible answer. To allow candidates sufficient time to answer all items, the time limit for the CCSP exam is increasing from three to four hours.  

Lastly, as announced in December 2021, the CCSP exam content will be refreshed on August 1. Specifically, Domain 2: Cloud Data Security will increase from 19% to 20% and Domain 5: Cloud Security Operations will decrease from 17% to 16%. You can find the August 1, 2022 version of the CCSP Exam Outline here https://www.isc2.org/-/media/ISC2/Certifications/Exam-Outlines/CCSP-Exam-Outline-2022.ashx with additional languages coming soon to the CCSP Exam Outline page . 

If you’re registered for the CCSP after August 1, but would like to move your exam up before these changes go into effect, you may do so by contacting Pearson VUE. If you have any questions at all about these changes, please contact our Exam Administration team at examadministration@isc2.org.
