EC-COUNCIL CCISO Exam

I earned my CCISO today. Certified Chief Information Security Officer. Hardest exam I've taken by far. 250 questions with only 4hrs to complete, very similar to CISSP exam format. EC-COUNCIL did well on the exam writing and materials. Hats off to them. I won't post my score sheet because of my ethical commitment to the process, but I would highly suggest reviewing the SDLC and PMP materials. They are very useful when combined with a solid technical background.
By the way, I said the exam was the hardest for a reason, it's not memorization of tech facts, in fact the techie answer is normally not a good choice, it's difficult because as a tech of almost 20yrs it forced me to think big picture aka board room esk, while reading the questions.

Domain 3: Management – Projects and Operations (Projects, Technology & Operations)
Domain 4: Information Security Core Competencies
Domain 5: Strategic Planning & Finance.
Why is it more difficult from the CISSP then?

CEO: I read about cybersecurity breaches every day. We need to hire someone to reassure our shareholders and improve our share price. Our board of directors suggest we get a CISO. We need someone who is qualified.
HR: You know, I just received 2 CVs this morning. Person A has MBA and is a ... er. .. CISSP? Person B is a CCISO, certified CISO.
CEO: What's CISSP? I need a security person. Hire the certified CISO! He should be qualified.
