SailPoint Certification (Identity Security Cloud & IdentityIQ) — Syllabus & notes

Exam overview

SailPoint runs a certification and credentialing programme for people who work with its identity security products, Identity Security Cloud and IdentityIQ. Every exam is registered for through Identity University and is in English only; the proctored exams are then scheduled and taken through Proctor360. There are three training-based knowledge credentials (Identity Security Leader, Professional and Expert), which are online, not proctored and do not expire, and four proctored exams taken online through Proctor360: the role-based Certified Identity Security Administrator, Certified Identity Security Engineer and Certified IdentityIQ Engineer, which are valid for two years, and the training-based Certified IdentityIQ Associate. The proctored exams use Discrete Option Multiple Choice (DOMC): options appear one at a time in random order and are answered Yes or No, and a question is right only if every option shown is judged correctly. Exams end once enough questions have been answered right or wrong, answers cannot be changed and questions cannot be flagged. SailPoint reports Pass or Fail with a percent score per section and does not publish a pass mark. Each enrollment includes one free retake within 364 days of the original enrollment; the Identity Security Leader credential instead has no fee for its first three attempts.
