Seminar Description

As the first credential accredited by ANSI to ISO Standard 17024:2003 in the field of information security, the Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) certification provides information security professionals with not only an objective measure of competence but a globally recognized standard of achievement. The CISSP credential demonstrates competence in the 10 domains of the (ISC)² CISSP CBK.

The CISSP credential is ideal for mid- and senior-level managers who are working toward or have already attained positions as CISOs, CSOs or Senior Security Engineers.

The (ISC)² CISSP CBK Review Seminar is the most comprehensive review seminar discussing information systems security industry best practices, known as the (ISC)² CBK. The review seminar helps you review the 10 domains of the information security practice. It also serves as a strong learning tool for mastering concepts and topics related to all aspects of information systems security. This CISSP CBK Review Seminar is the only CBK review seminar endorsed by (ISC)².

Examination and Certification Requirements

To become a CISSP, a candidate must successfully complete two separate processes: Examination and Certification. The eligibility requirements to sit for the CISSP examination are completely separate from the eligibility requirements necessary to be certified.

Examination
To sit for the CISSP examination, a candidate must:
  • Submit the examination fee.
  • Assert that he or she possesses a minimum of five years of professional experience in the information security field or three years plus a college degree. Additionally, a Master's Degree in Information Security from a National Center of Excellence can substitute for one year toward the four-year requirement.
  • Complete the Candidate Agreement, attesting to the truth of his or her assertions regarding professional experience and legally commit to adhere to the CISSP Code of Ethics.
  • Successfully answer four questions regarding criminal history and related background.
Certification
To be issued a certificate, a candidate must:
  • Pass the CISSP exam with a scaled score of 700 points or greater.
  • Submit a properly completed and executed Endorsement Form.
  • Successfully pass an audit of their assertions regarding professional experience, if the candidate is selected for audit.
Endorsement
Once a candidate has been notified they have successfully passed the CISSP examination, he or she will be required to have his or her application endorsed by a CISSP before the credential can be awarded. If a CISSP is not available, another qualified professional with knowledge of information systems or an officer of the candidate's corporation can validate the candidate's professional experience.

The endorser attests that the candidate's assertions regarding professional experience are true to the best of their knowledge, and that the candidate is in good standing within the information security industry.

Audit

A percentage of the candidates who pass the CISSP examination and submit endorsements will be randomly subjected to audit and required to submit a resume for formal review and investigation.

Cancellations and Refund Policy

If more students register for a seminar than a location can accommodate, Focus Learning Systems will accept registrations on a first-come first-served basis, determined by the date registration was received. Focus Learning Systems reserves the right to cancel any seminar 15 days in advance if attendance is insufficient. In this case, Focus Learning Systems liability shall be limited to a full refund of fees paid.

All cancellation or rescheduling requests received in writing with 22 days notice or more will incur a $100 cancellation fee or rescheduling fee (Refund = Amount Paid, Less $100). Written cancellation or rescheduling requests received five calendar days or more prior to the seminar will be given credit toward attendance at a subsequent Focus Learning Systems course or program only (no refund) and will incur an additional $100 rescheduling fee. Cancellations received with less than five calendar days notice and "no-shows" will not be given a refund nor credit toward a later program (unless there is a documented medical emergency). Rescheduling or canceling both a Review Seminar and an exam will incur two $100 fees for a total of $200.
