The family line
PathPass gets you through the exam PathLock keeps the letters PathProof shows the work PathWork gets you paid for the expertise.
PathPass
Expert-led training that leads to certification.
The problem
Vendor exams are unforgiving. Self-study alone leaves candidates guessing what the real test looks like—and employer or CA funding still expects a pass.
PathPass is Accumentum’s exam-prep layer on top of instructor-led and portal training. Candidates practice the exam they will actually sit—banks aligned to blueprints, not dumps—so they walk in ready.
- Instructor-led / portal Accumentum training + PathPass exam prep
- 133 banks across six industries
- Exam prep only—Accumentum does not issue vendor credentials
PathLock
Keep the letters on the résumé.
The problem
Passing once is not enough. CPE clocks, blueprint changes, and quiet expirations erase hard-won credentials.
PathLock is Accumentum’s automated / continuous certification renewal membership—locker, monthly lock packs, labs, and blueprint alerts—so nothing expires quietly.
- Credential locker + monthly lock packs
- Labs and blueprint alerts
- From $29/mo
An Accumentum membership. Not affiliated with Pathlock, Inc.
PathProof
Show the work. Open the bench.
The problem
Letters on a résumé do not prove capability. Employers need verifiable activity—what someone actually did in labs and practicals.
PathProof is Accumentum’s verifiable-credentials layer: a public proof page, scored practicals, and Bench for employers who want to search opt-in talent.
- Public proof page + scored practicals
- Bench for employers (Starter $129/mo)
- Proof $19/mo · Proof+ $29/mo
Accumentum verifies Accumentum activity. Vendor certs are holder-asserted. PathProof is not a staffing firm.
PathWork
Book a scoped session. Walk out with the work.
The problem
Expertise sits idle between jobs and projects. Buyers need packaged help without a bid board; providers need a clean way to get paid.
PathWork is Accumentum’s integrated platform to put skills to work: scoped sessions, Accumentum-vetted professionals, list price on the card, providers keep 92%.
- Scoped, packaged sessions with a defined deliverable
- Accumentum-vetted · unclassified work only
- Buyers pay list price; providers keep 92%
Illustrative catalog examples often land around $125–$210 per session. PathWork is checkout, not staffing.
Partnership value
Why engage Accumentum end-to-end
Buying one tool leaves gaps. The lifecycle compounds: training that passes, renewal that sticks, proof employers can trust, and paid work that follows.
Shared trust loop
PathLock currency and PathProof pins feed PathWork eligibility—alumni with proof go first.
Honest boundaries
We prep exams; we do not issue vendor certs. We verify Accumentum activity; we are not a staffing firm.
Optional funding
PathPay or CA / COOL / tuition can fund the training step when cash is the blocker—then the rest of the stack still applies.

Sample journey
One cert, the full lifecycle
Security+ through Pass · Lock · Proof · Work
- Pass — Accumentum Security+ training + PathPass practice until exam day.
- Lock — PathLock from $29/mo so CompTIA CE and blueprint shifts never sneak up.
- Proof — PathProof publishes Accumentum-verified labs; opt into Bench when ready.
- Work — List a scoped Security+ / baseline cyber session on PathWork and keep 92%.
Same arc for CISSP-style journeys: PathPass prep → PathLock CPE tracking → PathProof pins → PathWork RMF / architecture sessions (illustrative).
