CISSP CERTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS

CISSP - Certified Information Systems Security Professional Requirements

" You need to register for the CISSP exam, sit the exam, and pass it to earn the
CISSP(A) certification. "

Passing the exam gets you a CISSP Associate or CISSP(A) certification.
You can get a CISSP(A) certification without having your resume reviewed by (ISC)²!
A CISSP(A) is not quite the same as a CISSP certification, but for your employer, the difference may not be that important.
The DOD 8570 framework that much of the US Government uses specifies a CISSP(A), not a CISSP.
You will be able to upgrade your CISSP(A) to the full CISSP certification as soon as you reach your experience requirements.
CISSP certification evolves with the cyber security industry and the examination that candidates must pass may vary from year to year.
(ISC)², the "world's leading cyber security professional organization," notes that in 2021, the CISSP certification exam will change in terms of content and weighting, and that there will be a new exam outline.

" You need to have paid work experience for the full CISSP certification. "

According to the (ISC)², you must have a minimum of five years paid work experience in two of the eight domains that comprise the CISSP Common Body of Knowledge, or CBK, in addition to passing the exam.
The eight domains which comprise the CBK are fundamental to the cyber security profession and are referenced by cyber security practitioners worldwide.
A four-year college degree, or regional equivalent, an additional, (ISC)²-approved credential, or an education credit count for only one of the five years required to earn the full CISSP certification.
An Associate of (ISC)² who does not have the prerequisite five years paid work experience required for CISSP certification will have six years to earn that experience after they pass the exam.

" You need to be endorsed and approved for the full CISSP certification. "

Once you have passed the CISSP certification exam, you will need to apply for and receive the endorsement of an (ISC)²-certified professional.
The endorser must be able to verify your work experience and standing within the cyber security industry.
The endorsement process must be completed within nine months.
After your endorsement application has been approved, the next step is to pay the (ISC)² Annual Maintenance Fee.
