" How difficult is it to get a CISSP certification? "
- Getting a CISSP certification can be challenging.
- (ISC)² does not publish data on pass rates, but anecdotal estimates from bootcamps suggest that the failure rate for a first-time test taker can be as high as 40%.
" How will I know if I'm ready to take the CISSP exam? "
- The CISSP NOW! method, documented in the CISSP NOW! ebook, includes the self-assessments and quantitative feedback necessary for you to answer that question with confidence.
" What if I fail the exam? "
- According to the retake policy on the (ISC)² website, if you fail, you can take the test again after 30 days, and if you fail again, you must wait 90 days (then 180 days), but you cannot take the exam more than three times in a 12-month period.
" My new job requires that I have a CISSP certification within 90 days. How can I get that? "
- If your new job requires you to get a CISSP within three months (90 days), and you start studying on day 1, this means that you should take the exam after preparing for no more than 60 days, so that if you need to retake it, you can do so without violating the requirements of your job.
" What is the cost of a CISSP certification? "
- The CISSP certification test costs $749 per attempt, and (ISC)² requires an annual fee of $125 to maintain it. See: https://www.isc2.org/notice/CISSP-price and https://www.isc2.org/Membership/manage-membership

- From the Bureau of Labor Statistics: " Employment of information security analysts is projected to grow 29 percent from 2024 to 2034, much faster than the average for all occupations. About 16,000 openings for information security analysts are projected each year, on average, over the decade. Many of those openings are expected to result from the need to replace workers who transfer to different occupations or exit the labor force, such as to retire."
