Dear (ISC)2 Member,

The (ISC)2 board of directors has approved new experience requirements 
for the CISSP certification, effective 1 October, 2007. While these 
changes will not affect current holders of the CISSP or those scheduled 
to take the exam by 30 September 2007, we wanted you to be aware of them.

It is the responsibility of the (ISC)2 board of directors to continually 
review the entire spectrum of the consortium’s education and 
certification programs to ensure that (ISC)2 continues to provide the 
"gold standard" of professional certification in the information 
security industry. The board believes these new requirements will assure 
organizations worldwide that CISSPs have demonstrated they can meet the 
challenges of an ever-increasing threat environment, while you as an 
(ISC)2 member can be assured that the rigorous standards of the CISSP 
are being maintained in a maturing profession.

The new requirements include the following components:

   * The minimum professional experience requirement for CISSP
     certification will be five years of relevant work experience
     <https://www.isc2.org/cgi-bin/content.cgi?category=1187>in /two/
     or more of the 10 domains of the CISSP CBK
     <https://www.isc2.org/cgi-bin/content.cgi?category=97>, or four
     years of work experience with an applicable
     <https://www.isc2.org/cgi/content.cgi?category=1187> college
     degree <https://www.isc2.org/cgi/content.cgi?category=1187>
     <https://www.isc2.org/cgi/content.cgi?category=1187>or a
     credential from the (ISC)2-approved list
     <https://www.isc2.org/cgi-bin/content.cgi?page=1016>. The current
     requirements for the CISSP call for four years of work experience
     in /one/ or more of the 10 domains of the CISSP CBK, or three
     years of experience with an applicable college degree or a
     credential from the (ISC)2-approved list.

   * Candidates for any (ISC)2 credential will be required to obtain an
     endorsement of their candidature exclusively from an
     (ISC)2-certified professional in good standing
     <https://www.isc2.org/cgi-bin/content.cgi?category=1376>. The
     professional endorsing the candidate can hold any (ISC)2
     certification – CISSP, SSCP
     <https://www.isc2.org/cgi-bin/content.cgi?category=98> or CAP
     <https://www.isc2.org/cgi-bin/content.cgi?page=859>. Currently,
     candidates can be endorsed by an officer from the candidate’s
     organization if no CISSP endorsement can be obtained. The board
     believes that only an (ISC)2-credentialed professional bound by
     its Code of Ethics
     <https://www.isc2.org/cgi-bin/content.cgi?category=12> should
     provide a candidate endorsement.

Should you have any questions, please visit
