TaoTastic! Inc. - Learn Something! | CISSP Complete Program

Certified Information Systems Security Professional, CISSP

Most would agree that the toughest part of preparing for the CISSP certification is having to cover a lot of ground in a short amount of time. When describing this certification, many have said: “it’s a mile wide and an inch deep.” Identifying the inch that could drown you is the key to preparing for the exam.

We have made the challenge of preparing for the exam easier by rethinking how to study for it. With our CISSP Complete Training Program, we designed a training program that is portable, engaging, and effective. The entire training program is self-contained on the device of your choice.

All the lectures, domain reviews, question reviews, eBooks, and MP3s are all at your fingertips whenever and wherever you need to study. Not only do we deliver 100% of the CISSP CBK to you in a convenient and flexible way, but we’ve also bundled it together with some of the most powerful study tools available. This ensures that you get the most out of the time you will invest in preparing for the CISSP exam.

This CISSP Complete Training Program is both robust and comprehensive. You get two sets of lectures by two different instructors so you get varying perspectives on the materials to help you quickly gain an understanding of each domain. All 8 Domains of the CISSP are covered in depth by each set of lectures.

Best of all we give you a way to map out a course of study to effectively identify and target your strengths and weaknesses, giving you a way to design a plan of study that works best for you.

We design this program using feedback from current CISSPs especially those who have recently passed the exam. The approach we came up with will ensure that you get the best results from the time you invest in studying. This approach is best suited for those seeking to only take the CISSP exam once and passing.

How to Get Your CISSP Certification

1. Obtain the Required Experience

Candidates must have a minimum of 5 years of cumulative paid full-time work experience in two or more of the 8 domains of the (ISC)² CISSP CBK. Candidates may receive a one-year experience waiver with a 4-year college degree, or regional equivalent or additional credential from the (ISC)² approved list, thus requiring four years of direct full-time professional security work experience in 2 or more of the 8 domains of the CISSP CBK.

Don't have the experience? Become an Associate of (ISC)² by successfully passing the CISSP exam. You'll have 6 years to earn your experience to become a CISSP.

5. Complete the Endorsement Process

Once you are notified that you have successfully passed the examination, you will be required to subscribe to the (ISC)² Code of Ethics and have your application endorsed before the credential can be awarded. An endorsement form for this purpose must be completed and signed by an (ISC)² certified professional who is an active member, and who is able to attest to your professional experience. With the endorsement time limit, you are required to become certified within nine months of the date of your exam or become an Associate of (ISC)². If you do not become certified or an Associate of (ISC)² within 9 months of the date of your exam, you will be required to retake the exam in order to become certified. (ISC)² can act as an endorser for you if you cannot find a certified individual to act as one. Please refer to the Endorsement Assistance Guidelines for additional information about the endorsement requirements.

6. Maintain the CISSP Certification

Recertification is required every 3 years by meeting all renewal requirements, which include:
Earn and submit a minimum of 40 continuing professional education (CPE) credits each year of the 3-year certification cycle and a total of 120 CPE credits by the end of the 3-year certification cycle. For CISSPs who hold one or more concentrations, CPE credits submitted for the CISSP Concentration(s) will be counted toward the annual minimum CPE credits required for the CISSP.
Pay the annual maintenance fee (AMF) of US$85 each year of the 3-year certification for a total cycle
Abide by the (ISC)² Code of Ethics
Passing candidates will be randomly selected and audited by (ISC)² Member Services prior to issuance of any certificate. Multiple certifications may result in a candidate being audited more than once.
