Officially the seminars are given by ISC2 "Institute" rather than the
International Information Systems Security Certification Consortium, which is
the certification group, so they are different legal entities. But I think that
if it appears that there is a conflict of interest, then it does not matter if
there is not a legal conflict. Perception is what counts.
SANS has set up a separate organization, GIAC, to do their testing and
certification. So SANS does the training, GIAC does the testing. ISC2 should be
very clear about their differences as well.

Subject: [CISSP-D] COI and the ISC2
I am interested in the group's opinion on the following:
1) ISC2 is an organization that creates and administers an exam for
professionals
2) ISC2 also provides review seminars for the CISSP test
When selling their seminars ISC2 states - who better to get training
from - we are the keepers of the CBK
Does anybody else see a COI here.
I have asked ISC2 about this several times and their argument is -
that there is a 'firewall' between the test writters and CBK
developers and the seminar producers.
OK, if that is the case then why should we assume that the ISC2
seminars are the best? Can you really have it both ways? As a ISC2
member do you feel that YOUR organization should even be in this
business?
