I have both a GIAC GCIA certification and the CISSP so I can compare them a bit.
They are both valuable. GIAC certifications indicate in-depth knowledge of a
particular technical security speciality. A CISSP indicates a broad overview of
most security areas.
 So, as Rob Slade said, the GIAC certifications are the things that will give
you the technical knowledge needed to be an expert in an area while the CISSP
will give you the ability to comprehend what technicians are saying to formulate
policy and be a manager. I would suggest that a beginner look to the IGAC
certifications first in an area that he/she has interest and then take the CISSP
when one has enough experience and knowledge to be eligible. The GIAC certs are
not easy and are probably harder than the CISSP. But they test different things.
