With more than 150,000 CISSPs around the world, some of you have asked – what’s the next step? For many of you, that next step is one of the CISSP concentrations focused on security architecture, engineering or management.

The CISSP-ISSAP exam was last updated in October 2020, which means we are beginning the process of a refresh again. (ISC)² is holding a Job Task Analysis (JTA) Study Workshop (tentatively scheduled for February 6-8), we are asking those who hold this (or any) CISSP concentration to review the current CISSP-ISSAP Exam Outline and let us know the following:

1. Do you believe that the current CISSP-ISSAP exam outline adequately covers the existing and emerging cybersecurity techniques and threats CISSP-ISSAP practitioners are facing in their jobs today?
2. If not, what sort of topics/content should be added to the CISSP-ISSAP exam outline?
3. What content currently on the CISSP-ISSAP exam outline is no longer relevant to today’s professionals?

Please send your answers to these questions to ISSAPJTA@isc2.org no later than January 23, 2023. Please include your ID # in your email. Your comments will be compiled and presented to the JTA Committee for further review.

Be sure to submit this exercise via the CPE portal so that you can earn credit for participating in this essential activity. Thank you for your invaluable insights and help!
