I: Reference Conditions
The following conditions must be met:
CISSP's code of ethics is to require spoto CISSP to be honest, and everyone can fill in according to their own real situation.
a. Comply with the rules and regulations of (ISC) 2 (please refer to).
b. More than 3 years working in one or more of the 10 examination fields specified by CBK (common body of knowledge). You can be a practitioner, auditor, consultant, client, investor or teacher in the field of information security. You are required to apply information system security knowledge directly in your work. Three years of practical work can be cumulative.
c. Re-certification is required every three years, and you need to obtain 120 continuing professional education (CPE) credit points within three years.
d. About English: for non-English speaking countries, CISSP allows the examinee to carry the dictionary without mark or label. According to the author's observation, a large part of the reasons why domestic examinee fail to pass the exam lie in their weak English foundation. On the one hand, they fail to understand the questions accurately; on the other hand, they are slow in doing the questions, which affects their level. Although electronic translators without memory function (such as Wenquxing) are allowed to be used in some examinations, solid English foundation and rich professional English vocabulary are important conditions for successful passing the examination. If readers are interested in CISSP certification, but their work experience can not meet the requirements of (ISC) 2, what should they do? Don't be discouraged, (ISC) 2 has set up a title called "associate of (ISC) 2" for examiners in this situation. Examiners can apply to (ISC) 2 for upgrading to formal CISSP after passing the CISSP examination and accumulating enough years of work experience in practical work.
e. However, it should be noted that: (ISC) 2 revised the work experience requirements for applicants in CISSP certification examination in May. Starting from October 1, 2007, the original Four-year Full-time work experience requirements were increased to five years, and the number of CBKS involved in the work was increased from at least one to at least two. Applicants can still reduce the requirement of one year's work experience through education and certification, and the restrictions on certificate list and years are the same as before.
Before filling in the registration form, the applicants of CISSP certification examination also need to agree to the payment, refund and re payment rules of (ISC) 2 certification examination, the confidentiality agreement of the examination and the copyright agreement of the examination paper, and most importantly, (ISC) 2 CISSP code of ethics. In addition, when filling in the registration form, the applicants need to answer four questions about whether they have criminal record background.
f. Since June 1, 2002, (ISC) 2 divides the process of obtaining CISSP into two steps: certification and examination. After passing the examination, you must obtain the third party's approval before you can finally obtain the CISSP certificate. The third party can be the employer of the reference or other certified professionals. This move makes it more difficult to obtain CISSP, but it also makes clear the difference between CISSP and other security authentication, and maintains the authority of CISSP.
