CCAK is the first credential available for industry professionals, like you, to demonstrate your expertise in the essential principles of auditing cloud computing systems. The CCAK credential and training fills the gap in the market for technical education for cloud IT auditing.

This credential leverages CSA’s cloud expertise and ISACA’s traditional audit expertise, combining their know-how and expertise to develop and deliver the best possible solution for cloud auditing education.

The CCAK certification prepares audit and IT professionals to:
  • Take a well-planned, risk-based approach to cloud evaluation and audit management
  • Understand cloud computing security, governance, and compliance
  • Tackle unique cloud challenges, technology stacks, DevOps, CI/CD, continuous compliance and more
  • Address the challenges of transparency, complexity, interdependencies, scalability and more

Key Takeaways

At the end of this programme, you will be able to:
  • Understand the difference in assessing and auditing cloud environments versus traditional IT infrastructure & services
  • Discover how to use cloud security assessment methods and techniques to evaluate a cloud service before and during the provision of the service
  • Learn how existing governance policies and frameworks are affected by the introduction of cloud into the ecosystem
  • Understand the unique requirements of compliance in the cloud due to shared responsibility between cloud providers and customers
  • Learn how to use a cloud-specific security controls framework to ensure security within your organisation
  • Architect in a way that allows you to measure control effectiveness through metrics and ultimately leads to continuous monitoring

Who Should Attend

Please refer to the job roles section.

Prerequisites

There are no prerequisites to take the CCAK exam. However, since the CCAK assumes you have a working knowledge of cloud security best practices, we advise that you earn the Certificate of Cloud Security Knowledge (CCSK) before pursuing the CCAK. That said, the CCSK is not a prerequisite to the CCAK, and individuals can earn their CCAK without earning the CCSK first.

Laptop with a stable internet connection and Zoom App to attend the training.
