Settles on what's actually tested — not everything
SEC-01 · Every bundle

Four pieces, one folder, zero fluff

Every certification gets the same treatment. Buy the memory cards alone, or the full bundle — nothing here is padded to look bigger than it is.

01

Study guide

Plain-English walkthrough of every exam domain, with worked "Example:" sections instead of raw definitions.

02

Memory cards

A tight flashcard deck (PDF + Anki-ready) built for spaced repetition, not padded to look impressive.

03

Practice exam

Realistic exam-style questions with full rationales — why the right answer is right and the rest are wrong.

04

Cheat sheet + planner

A one-page exam-day reference and a domain-weighted study planner, included at every tier.

Are these official study materials? +

No. OntarioCyberGuide is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by ISC2, CompTIA, ISACA, GIAC, IAPP, Google, the CMMC-AB, or any other certification provider or examination body. Certification and company names are used only to identify the subjects our guides cover.

What format do I receive? +

Everything is an instant digital download — PDF study guide and cheat sheet, PDF plus Anki-import memory cards, and a PDF practice exam with full answer rationales, depending on the tier you choose.

What if the exam objectives change? +

Core and Complete bundles include free minor updates when a certifying body revises its exam objectives, for as long as that guide stays current in the shop.

How often do new guides come out? +

New certifications are added as they're finished and personally reviewed — there's no fixed schedule, but the library keeps growing. Check the Etsy shop for what's currently available.
