Audience

WHO THE CCPR-CRE IS FOR

CCPR-CRE is the professional-level credential for senior security practitioners with 3 to 5 years of cybersecurity experience. It validates program ownership capability — the ability to design, implement, and manage a CRE cybersecurity program, not just operate within one.

🛡️
Senior Security Practitioners

Security program leads and senior analysts with 3 to 5 years of hands-on experience. CCPR-CRE validates your ability to own and operate a CRE security program at the portfolio level.

🏛️
CISM and CISSP Holders

General security credentials provide a strong foundation. CCPR-CRE adds the CRE-specific operational depth that CISM and CISSP curricula don't cover — OT/BAS governance, tenant risk programs, and CRE regulatory obligations.

📋
Security Program Leads

IT managers and security directors moving into portfolio-level program ownership roles. CCPR-CRE is the credential that signals you can build and run a CRE security program, not just participate in one.

Exam Blueprint

ADVANCED DOMAINS, PORTFOLIO SUBMISSION
