CCSK v5.0 Domains (Updated)

The exam is based on the CSA Security Guidance v5 and the Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM). The domains cover:

• Cloud Architecture & Concepts

• Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC)

• Legal Issues, Contracts, and Electronic Discovery (reduced coverage compared to v4)

• Compliance & Audit Management

• Information Governance

• Infrastructure Security

• Virtualization & Containers

• Incident Response & Business Continuity

• Application Security & DevSecOps (CI/CD emphasis)

• Data Security & Encryption

• Identity, Access, and Entitlement Management

• Emerging Topics: Zero Trust, Generative AI, Security Monitoring

(Note: Legal topics and Security-as-a-Service coverage have been reduced in v5, while modern cloud practices like Zero Trust and AI have been added.)

Key Study Strategy

• Focus on CSA Core Docs:

  • Security Guidance v5 (primary reference)

  • Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) for control mapping

• Prioritize new topics: Zero Trust, AI/GenAI, CI/CD pipelines, and monitoring.

• Practice with sample questions: CSA Prep Kit and study guides (e.g., Graham Thompson’s CCSK v5 Study Guide).

• Time management: With 60 questions in 120 minutes, you have 2 minutes per question.

Risks & Challenges

• Open book trap: While the exam is open book, relying too much on searching during the test wastes time. You need familiarity with the documents.

• Domain weighting: CSA does not publish exact question counts per domain, but your exam results will show how many questions came from each domain. Expect relatively balanced distribution across the 12 domains.

• New content: Candidates familiar with v4 must adapt to v5’s emphasis on Zero Trust and AI.

In short: CCSK v5.0 = 60 questions, 120 minutes, 12 domains, open book, 80% passing score. The exam is balanced across domains, but you should expect heavier emphasis on modern cloud practices like Zero Trust, AI, and CI/CD.
