SCCISP certification provides "real world" deployment focused training designed to impart actual skills and essential process knowledge that can be implemented in real-world scenarios.

As a result, the SCCISP Foundation and Associate courses include the IoTSI Smart Cities and Critical Infrastructure Framework (released under a Creative Common License) as part of their SCCISP courseware material.

This alignment between SCCISP courseware training material and IoTSI industry-based research and smart cyber framework development is considered critical to a candidate's SCCISP training. Actual insights into "real world" assessment criteria,smart cyber challenges, and risk mitigation strategies within actual deployment scenarios provide an insight into the skills and knowledge required to ensure "Security by Design" is implemented at all stages of design, build and run.
