Registration for the second (ISC)² online proctored CISSP exam pilot program is now open to candidates in the U.S., U.K. and Singapore.

Built on results from the association’s first online proctored pilot test in 2021 , this pilot program is designed to further assess the viability, and help determine the potential future availability, of online proctoring for (ISC)² certification examinations. The learnings from this pilot program will help us further augment our exam delivery capabilities, ensuring the experience is safe, secure and provides candidates with the best possible opportunity to demonstrate their competence, regardless of the examination delivery method.

What’s New

With exam security as the primary objective, (ISC)² has established new identity validation and security processes for this second pilot of online proctored exams. This is the first online exam of its kind administered by Pearson VUE due to the wide array of stringent security controls and processes that have been implemented. Candidates should ensure they are aware of all pilot program processes and procedures .

What Test-Takers Need to Know

Online CISSP examinations will be administered February 28 – March 7, 2022 for candidates physically located in the U.S., U.K. and Singapore. Availability is on a first come, first serve basis. The CISSP exam will only be available in English and in the Computerized Adaptive Testing (CAT) format , which has a 3-hour time limit and contains between 100-150 multiple choice items. Results will not be immediately available; all exam results will be held until after a complete statistical and psychometric assessment, which can take 8-10 weeks.
