Help Shape The HCISPP Exam

HCISPP-Endorsed(ISC)² regularly conducts Job Task Analysis (JTA) studies to review and update the content outline (or exam blueprint) of its credentialing examinations. A JTA is the methodical process used to determine tasks that are performed by credential holders and knowledge and skills required to perform those tasks successfully. Results of the JTA study link a candidate’s examination score directly to the domain knowledge being tested.

The existing exam blueprint for HCISPP is up next for review! In preparation for that upcoming review, we would like to hear from YOU, our HCISPP members. We want to hear from you on the new and emerging cybersecurity issues that should be addressed, but are not covered in the current HCISPP Examination Outline. This is your opportunity to shape the content of the HCISPP exam! Your involvement helps us ensure the HCISPP certification continues to meet the needs of an ever-evolving cybersecurity industry for authorization professionals.

You can find a copy of the current HCISPP Exam Outline here: https://www.isc2.org/-/media/ISC2/Certifications/Exam-Outlines/HCISPP-Exam-Outline.ashx 

Please review the current outline and answer the following questions. While responding to these questions, please keep in mind that HCISPP candidates must have a minimum of two years cumulative paid work experience in one or more knowledge areas of the HCISPP Common Body of Knowledge (CBK) that includes security, compliance and privacy.  

  1. Does the current HCISPP Exam Outline adequately cover the existing and emerging cyber security techniques and threats HCISPP practitioners are facing in their jobs today?
  1. If not, what sort of topics/content must be added to the Exam Outline so that it reflects the changing face of today’s cyber security for healthcare professionals?

Please send your comments by May 31 to hcisppjta@isc2.org. If you're an (ISC)² member, please include your ID # in your email. Your comments will be compiled and presented to the appropriate committee for review. Limit your comments to a reasonable length. 

Thank you for your invaluable insights and support!
