CAP® - CERTIFICATION AND ACCREDITATION PROFESSIONAL

An In-Demand Position for the In-Control Individual
The Certification and Accreditation Professional (CAP) credential is an objective measure of the knowledge, skills and abilities required for personnel involved in the process of certifying and accrediting security of information systems. Specifically, this credential applies to those responsible for formalizing processes used to assess risk and establish security requirements. Their decisions will ensure that information systems possess security commensurate with the level of exposure to potential risk, as well as damage to assets or individuals.

The credential is appropriate for civilian, state and local governments in the U.S., as well as commercial markets. Job functions such as authorization officials, system owners, information owners, information system security officers, and certifiers as well as all senior system managers apply.

For your CAP credential, your professional experience has to be a minimum of two years of direct full-time information systems security certification and accreditation in one or more of these five (ISC)² CAP domains:

• Understanding the Purpose of Certification
• Initiation of the System Authorization Process
• Certification Phase
• Accreditation Phase
• Continuous Monitoring Phase
