CCSK digital badge now available
for CCSK v.3 and v.4 holders.
The Cloud Security Alliance (CSA), in partnership with Credly, a leading digital credential service provider, is now providing digital badges to qualified holders of the CCSK v.3 and v.4 to showcase your credentials. A digital badge helps you gain recognition for earning your certificate by allowing you to easily display and share your achievement. Recruiters and employers will be able to quickly verify your competencies and skills.
A digital badge is a web-enabled version of your credential that is shareable online. Your digital badge has a unique URL and can be used in your email signature, personal websites, social media sites such as LinkedIn and Twitter, as well as on electronic copies of resumes. It serves as a digital representation of your knowledge, skills, and credential achievements.
In order to claim your CCSK digital badge, you need to log in to the CCSK Platform using the email associated with your CCSK exam. Once you are logged in, click on the button “Claim your digital badge”.
All first-time eligible individuals need to opt in before their first badge is issued. To provide you with your digital CCSK certificate, you need to grant permission to CSA to pass your certification record details to Credly.
Once you have opted in, a limited amount of your personal data (your name, surname, and email address) will be transferred to Credly and they will send you further details on how to access your digital badge.
