Introduction
(ISC)2 SSCP Systems Security Certified Practitioner Official Practice Tests, 2nd Edition is a companion volume to the SSCP (ISC)2 Systems Security Certified Practitioner Official Study Guide, 3rd Edition. If you’re looking to test your knowledge before you take the SSCP exam, this book will help you by providing a combination of practice questions that cover the SSCP Common Body of Knowledge and easy-to-understand explanations of both right and wrong answers. This book as well as the 3rd edition of the Study Guide are updated according to the Exam Outline effective November 2021.
If you’re just starting to prepare for the SSCP exam, we highly recommend that you use the SSCP (ISC)2 Certified Information Systems Security Professional Official Study Guide, 3rd Edition to help you learn about each of the domains covered by the SSCP exam. Once you’re ready to test your knowledge, use this book to help find places where you may need to study more, or to practice for the exam itself.
Since this is a companion to the SSCP Study Guide, this book is designed to be similar to taking the SSCP exam. It contains multipart scenarios as well as standard multiple-choice questions similar to those you may encounter in the certification exam itself. The book itself is broken up into 9 chapters: 7 domain-centric chapters covering each domain, and 2 chapters that contain full-length practice tests to simulate taking the exam itself.
SSCP Certification
The SSCP certification is offered by the International Information System Security Certification Consortium, or (ISC)2, a global nonprofit. The mission of (ISC)2 is to support and provide members and constituents with credentials, resources, and leadership to address cyber, information, software, and infrastructure security to deliver value to society. They achieve this mission by delivering the world’s leading information security certification program. The SSCP is the entry-level credential in this series and is accompanied by several other (ISC)2 programs:
Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP)
Certified Authorization Professional (CAP)
Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP)
Certified Cyber Forensic Professional (CCFP)
HealthCare Information Security Privacy Practitioner (HCISPP)
Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP)
There are also three advanced CISSP certifications for those who wish to move on from the base credential to demonstrate advanced expertise in a domain of information security:
Information Systems Security Architecture Professional (CISSP-ISSAP)
Information Systems Security Engineering Professional (CISSP-ISSEP)
Information Systems Security Management Professional (CISSP-ISSMP)
