SSCP, and CGRC are great certificates to begin with. I highly recommend that. These certificates demonstrate the skillset, and baseline of NIST - SPs. Although Sec+ is an entry level certificate and as today's date it only shows that you have interest in Cyber Security - sadly - it isn't a big thing anymore. SSCP, and CGRC are to go certificates. Good lucks guys

This was really helpful! A primary reason why I am extremely interested in the SCCP is because I am making the transition into cyber from 8 years of helpdesk and becoming familiar with the way in which ISC2 structures their questions will help me in my pursuit of the CISSP. My interests and primary focus is far more on the GRC side of things career wise. Thanks for the info.

SSCP is not a beginner type certification. It is considered an intermediate to low level expert and the actual exam is more difficult to pass. So unless you have taken the actual exam, I am not sure how your qualified to say its a beginner type exam. The CC exam certification from ISC2 would actually be the beginner type exam

It would have been fantastic if you provided a side by side comparison in the form of table in the end, Anyways thanks for sharing your knowledge, it helped !

I wonder if ISC² CC will be added to the DoD list for IAT level I or level II like SSCP

I have around 5 years of experience in both network and cybersecurity. I am working in cybersecurity for a year now and just passed my CC from ISC2. I want to know if SSCP or compris security+ is good for my career.

If I already have the Security +, is it a waste of time to pursue the SSCP?
