    [04] Frequently Asked Questions about PSP – Physical Security Professional

    The PSP exam focuses on three core domains: Physical Security Assessment (34%), Application, Design, and Integration of Physical Security Systems (34%), and Implementation of Physical Security Measures (32%).
    While the Certified Protection Professional (CPP) covers broad, overarching security management principles, the Physical Security Professional (PSP) is highly specialized, focusing strictly on the technical architecture, assessment, and implementation of physical security systems.
    Candidates typically need three to five years of physical security experience, depending on their level of higher education. A bachelor's degree reduces the required experience from five years to three years.
