Systems Security Professional certification will have an
additional hurdle to clear before becoming a CISSP. Once a
candidate has met the experience requirements and passed the six
hour exam, they will also have to have their application endorsed
by another CISSP, the candidate's employer, or another licensed,
certified professional. Candidates will have approximately 90
days after passing the exam to submit the endorsement or they
will have to start the entire process over.
In addition, (ISC)2 will be randomly selecting candidates for
auditing. Selected candidates will be required to submit a resume
for formal review and investigation. According to (ISC)2, the new
measures are intended to protect and secure the value of CISSP
certification. You can read more about them at:
