Yes. The questions are original scenarios written by Science of Apps, and each one is based on a public source you can read: NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 (NIST); Certified Chief Information Security Officer (CCISO) (EC-Council); ISO/IEC 27001: Information security management systems (ISO); SP 800-53 Rev. 5: Security and Privacy Controls (NIST); COBIT 2019 Framework: Introduction and Methodology (ISACA); CIS Critical Security Controls (Center for Internet Security). The source is shown under each question and linked in the answer review. Science of Apps doesn't copy questions from other tests.

Five skill areas with five questions each, drawn from a bank of 10 per area so a retake brings new questions: Governance, Risk, Compliance and Audit Management (Governance, Risk and Audit); Organisational Executive Leadership (Strategy, Culture and Communication); Security Controls and Programme Operations (Controls, Frameworks and Operations); Information Security Core Competencies (IAM, Incident response and BCDR); Strategic Planning, Finance, Procurement and Third-Party Management (Budget and Vendors). Every question is an original scenario written to the 2026–2027 standard, with the published source named under it.

Chief information security officer (CISO), Deputy CISO or security director, Head of security governance and risk, IT director with security responsibility and Senior security manager moving into executive roles. It suits anyone who wants a quick, verifiable way to show EC-Council CCISO knowledge in 2026 and 2027, from students and career switchers to experienced professionals.

The EC-Council Certified Chief Information Security Officer exam has 150 multiple-choice questions in two and a half hours across five domains: governance, risk, compliance and audit; executive leadership; controls and programme operations; core competencies; and strategic planning, finance, procurement and third-party management.

Candidates generally need five years of experience in at least three of the five CCISO domains when taking authorised training, or in all five without training. An associate path exists for less experienced candidates or holders of credentials such as CISSP, CISM or CISA.
