A current guide to CompTIA SecurityX CAS-005, including the CASP+ name transition, 165-minute timing, pass/fail scoring, Pearson VUE delivery, and V5 objective weights.
SecurityX validates senior-level security architecture, engineering, governance, risk, compliance, and general security concepts for experienced cybersecurity practitioners.
Use these points before scheduling CAS-005 or updating a plan built around the retired CASP+ CAS-004 exam.
The current CompTIA SecurityX V5 exam code is CAS-005, launched December 17, 2024.
SecurityX is the rebranded CASP+ certification, and CASP+ CAS-004 retired June 17, 2025.
CompTIA lists a maximum of 90 performance-based and multiple-choice questions with a 165-minute test length.
SecurityX CAS-005 is pass/fail only and has no scaled score.
CompTIA recommends equivalent knowledge from Network+, Security+, CySA+, Cloud+, and PenTest+, plus ten years of hands-on IT experience with at least five in security.
CAS-005 weights General Security Concepts 20%, Enterprise Security Architecture 27%, Security Engineering 31%, and Security Governance, Risk, and Compliance 22%.
CASP+ CAS-004 is retired. Build your plan around SecurityX CAS-005 so your study materials match the current V5 scope and exam language.
SecurityX is aimed at experienced practitioners. Study enterprise architecture, engineering tradeoffs, governance, risk, compliance, and cross-domain security decisions rather than isolated definition recall.
Security Engineering is the largest domain at 31%, followed by Enterprise Security Architecture at 27%. These areas should anchor hands-on labs, scenario review, and design decision practice.
CAS-005 has no published scaled score. Use objective coverage, timed practice, and performance-based readiness checks instead of targeting a numeric passing score.

Use SecurityX CAS-005 V5 materials and replace CASP+ CAS-004 references in your plan.
Allocate study around General Security Concepts 20%, Enterprise Security Architecture 27%, Security Engineering 31%, and Governance, Risk, and Compliance 22%.
Work through architecture decisions, security controls, enterprise engineering cases, risk tradeoffs, compliance constraints, and incident-driven remediation.
Practice performance-based items, diagrams, policy decisions, and command or configuration scenarios under the 165-minute timing window.
Schedule through Pearson VUE, then confirm account details, ID, appointment rules, online system requirements if applicable, and check-in timing.
Use the guide to self-serve, or talk to a coordinator if you need help mapping timelines, official requirements, or troubleshooting day-of logistics.
