In order to sit the exam, you must have five years of IS management experience in each of the 5 CCISO domains verified via the Exam Eligibility Application. Once the application has been approved, instructions for purchasing a Pearson VUE voucher will be issued. Applicants who do not meet these requirements have the option of sitting for the EC-Council Information Security Manager (E|ISM) exam as part of the Associate CCISO Program. Once the E|ISM exam is passed, that will then qualify the applicant to take the C|CISO exam.
