The CISSP is the Certified Information Systems Security Professional certification from ISC2, positioned as the world’s premier cybersecurity leadership certification. It is a vendor-neutral credential that confirms you have the knowledge to design, implement and manage a best-in-class cybersecurity programme in any environment and to design, develop and manage an organisation’s overall security posture. It is built for security professionals who need both cybersecurity strategy and hands-on implementation, not just exam knowledge. 

CISSP is widely recognised as the gold standard because it combines a rigorous exam with a requirement for verifiable professional experience, supported by the ISC2 Code of Ethics and ongoing Continuing Professional Education requirements to help keep skills up to date.
