FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What’s the value in earning a CISSP certification?
What career opportunities are available to CISSP Boot Camp graduates?
How does the CISSP examination process work?
What are the renewal requirements for the CISSP?
To maintain your CISSP certification, you must earn 40 CPE credits per year, pay an annual maintenance fee and adhere to the ISC2 Code of Ethics.
How does the CISSP experience waiver work?
If you meet specific criteria, the CISSP experience waiver allows you to waive one year of the required professional work experience. One way is if you have a security-related degree from an accredited college. The other is to hold additional credentials from the ISC2 approved list. Learn more about how the CISSP experience waiver works.
What are the CISSP concentrations?
There are three additional role-based certifications from ISC2 that CISSP holders can pursue:
- Information Systems Security Architecture Professional (ISSAP)
- Information Systems Security Engineering Professional (ISSEP)
- Information Systems Security Management Professional (ISSMP)
Before October 2023, the three certifications above required a CISSP certification and were often referred to CISSP specializations or concentrations (CISSP-ISSAP, CISSP-ISSEP and CISSP-ISSMP). However, ISC2 now allows an option for experienced professionals to earn their ISSAP, ISSEP or ISSMP without holding a CISSP.

Kurt Kopf, Freddie MacThe Infosec approach to teaching the CISSP material was priceless. The instructor’s real-world understanding, historical perspective regarding the evolution of security and never-ending humor made for an interesting week of knowledge building.
Myles Kellerman, Northrop GrummanBefore this course, I didn’t understand harder CISSP concepts like cryptography. The teaching style, expertise and materials helped me understand the toughest topics. I will definitely recommend Infosec to my company and colleagues.
