Poke around the ISC2 website, most if not all of the answers you seek
are on their site. Scary that you're all studying for a certificate
that you likely can't qualify for.
https://www.isc2.org/cgi-bin/content.cgi?category=1186
Note: Effective 1 October 2007, professional work experience
requirements for the CISSP® will increase from four to five years, and
direct full-time security professional work experience will be
required in two or more of the ten (ISC)² CISSP® CBK® domains. A new
endorsement policy will also be in effect, requiring anyone who passes
a CISSP, CAPCM, or SSCP® exam to have their qualifications endorsed by
another (ISC)² credential holder. These changes will not affect those
who sit for an examination on or before 30 September 2007. For more
information, please refer to the Experience Requirement Change FAQs.
CISSP® candidates must meet the following requirements prior to taking
the CISSP examination.
The applicant must meet the following requirements to qualify to sit
for the examination: A. Subscribe to the (ISC)² Code of Ethics; and B.
Have a minimum four years* of direct full-time security professional
work experience in one or more of the ten domains of the information
systems security CBK® [1] . Waiver of Experience: If certain
circumstances apply and with
* appropriate documentation, candidates are eligible to waive a
maximum of two years of professional experience* as follows:
* One year waiver of the professional experience requirement for
education.
* Candidates can substitute a maximum of one year of direct full-time
security professional work experience described above if they have a
four-year college degree OR Master?s Degree in information security
from a U.S. National Center of Academic Excellence in information
Security (CAEIAE) or regional equivalent. If you hold both a
four-year degree and a Master?s degree, you may only apply for a one
year waiver of experience.
* One-year waiver of the professional experience requirement for
holding an additional credential on the (ISC)² approved list.
Valid experience includes information systems (IS) security-related
work performed as a practitioner, auditor, consultant, investigator or
instructor, that requires IS security knowledge and involves the
direct application of that knowledge. The four years of experience
must be the equivalent of actual fulltime IS security work (not just
IS security responsibilities for a four year* period); this
requirement is cumulative, however, and may have been accrued over a
much longer period of time.
You don't have to be affiliated with an organization to take the CISSP
examination.
Maintenance Requirements
Upon successfully passing the CISSP examination, you will receive your
certificate and ID card. You also become eligible to be listed in the
CISSP Directory, can elect to participate in the Speakers' Bureau,
serve on (ISC)² committees and participate in its annual elections.
Recertification is also required every three years, with ongoing
requirements to maintain your credentials in good standing. This is
primarily accomplished through continuing professional education
[CPE], 120 credits of which are required every three years. More
information on qualifying CPEs will be available upon certification.
CISSPs must also pay an annual maintenance fee of $85 per year.
