  • 1.  CCAK Exam

    Posted Aug 10, 2021 07:06:00 AM
    Hi,

    If we have authors of the exam or people in the know that can answer this it would be appreciated.

    Why is a there a pecentage of questions in the exam outside of the CBK training materials? I would understand if the exam was a certification that was drawing on experiance in the area, then this could be valid, like the CISSP exam as an example. This however is a certifcate with no mention of auditing experiance as requiremnent for the exam, so i'm curious why there are questions that would draw on experiance instead of whats in teh CBK as an introductory to auditing.

    @ anyone planning on taking the exam who reads this, please don't reach out to me for insight into the exam or questions, your messages etc will be ignored.

    thanks in advance
    Kevin​

    They have released to the training market a certificate that it is still in the making. The guide is ok, the questions at the end of each chapter are...The recently released Q&A are ok, I just say ok because some of the questions are so bogus that I do not think they will help to prepare for the exam.

    I am currently studying to sit the CCAK and starting to see in here and social networks the discontent. Some of my initial thoughts are starting to get clearer the closer I get to exam date, and the more I read testimonies of people who sat the exam.

    Ultimately, this seems to be a cert for the few experienced professionals in cloud auditing that are out there, and not the mainstream industry. The mainstream industry will benefit from learning how to audit cloud environments, but may take longer time to pass the exam without experience, which will increase their costs, the token only allows one attempt not two like in CCSK.

    If you are considering taking this exam, you should do it for the sake of learning, but right now the professional value is still to be determined. When I sat other certificaciones I knew I was measuring myself against a baseline, at the moment CCAK is its own baseline as there isn't other cloud auditing credential out there, and CCAK neither is known yet in the industry.

    As a CCAK instructor I am interested in hearing about all experiences with the study guide and the exam.
    The first release of a cert in a field like this is going to have some issues. This was true for CCSK 10 years ago, for CCSP 5 years ago, and it is going to be true for every cert in a rapidly advancing field.

    Please help me to help my students by sending in the comments you find on the web.

    I think CCAK is the best cloud auditing body of knowledge out there at this time, and brings considerable benefit to the profession. That is also the feedback we are getting from students. Nevertheless we have to assume (and even hope) that this discipline is going to evolve quite a bit from here on. 

    Keep those comments coming.

    Hello @Kevin Stander,

    I work in the Training department at CSA and I would like to hear more about your exam experience (privately since the exam is confidential). We are interested in more details about what you thought was out of the scope of the CBK training materials and what you felt like drew specifically on auditing experience. That way we can review the content and discuss the feedback for the next version of the CCAK. 

    I reached out to you via your Circle email and/or if you have more information you would like to share you can contact us at: [email protected]

    Thank you very much for taking the time to provide your insight as we develop this new curriculum.

    Best,

    If you want to pass the Isaca Certificate of Cloud Auditing Knowledge CCAK exam, you'll need to prep beforehand. I recently passed the Isaca CCAK exam and I learned many things along the way. Hopefully these suggestions will help you succeed with your exam.
