Cyber ​​Security Practitioner

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Cyber ​​Security Practitioner (CSP) is a certification recognized in Germany in the area of ​​revision, control and security of information systems. Since its introduction in April 2014, more than 100 people in Germany have been certified as CSPs. The certification was developed as part of the Alliance for Cyber ​​Security by the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) and the German Chapter of the Information Systems Audit and Control Association (ISACA) and entitles the certificate holder to carry out the cyber security check .

Obtaining the certificate

The CSP certificate can be requested from ISACA Germany Chapter eV and the Federal Office for Information Security if the following conditions are met:

  • Participation in the Cyber ​​Security Practitioner certificate course
  • passed CSP exam
  • Compliance with the code of ethics, i.e. how people should behave when performing a cyber security check
  • Compliance with the standards for audits of information systems on which the CSP is based

ISACA membership

The CSP certification is not tied to membership in the worldwide ISACA umbrella organization or the local (mostly national) so-called chapter.

exam

The CSP exams, which are standardized throughout Germany, are carried out four times a year in different cities. The exam consists of 40 questions that must be answered in 30 minutes using the single-choice procedure. If at least 75% of the questions are answered correctly, the exam is considered passed.

A CSP holder is able to identify security gaps and potential dangers in IT structures according to the guidelines of the cyber security check. The guide, which can be downloaded free of charge, explains in seven steps how the order can be placed, the risk potential, the documentation, on-site assessment as well as the follow-up and reporting.
