04 / FAQs
Questions before you start
What Is CISSP Certification? +
The CISSP certification validates an information security professional's deep knowledge and experience. It assesses not just technical skills but also the ability to manage an organization's security posture. This globally recognized credential demonstrates expertise and opens doors to better career opportunities in cybersecurity.
What is the Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) cost? +
The CISSP exam has a base fee of $749. To help ease first-time test taker anxieties, (ISC)² offers an optional "Peace of Mind Protection" program for $199. This program allows you to retake the exam at no additional cost if you don't pass on your first try. Additionally, uCertify offers CISSP preparation courses at $279.99.
Is CISSP for beginners? +
The CISSP is not typically recommended for beginners in the cybersecurity field. (ISC)² recommends a minimum of five years of cumulative paid work experience in two or more of the eight domains of the CISSP Common Body of Knowledge (CBK). This translates to four years of experience with a relevant college degree or additional qualifying credentials.
Can I pass the CISSP in 3 months? +
While it's possible to pass the CISSP exam in 3 months with intensive studying and a strong foundation in cybersecurity, it's not recommended for most candidates. The CISSP covers a broad range of security topics, and thorough preparation is essential for success. Most people dedicate 6 to 12 months to studying for the CISSP exam.
Is CISSP a lifetime certification?+
No, the CISSP certification is not a lifetime certification. To maintain your CISSP credential, you need to fulfill Continuing Professional Education (CPE) requirements every three years.
