Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) is a vendor-neutral certification governed by the International Information Systems Security Certification Consortium (ISC)2. It is considered one of the premiere Information Security certifications. The credential is accredited by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) under ANSI/ISO/IEC 17024 standard in the area of information security.

The CISSP test includes information from 10 different domains which comprise the (ISC)2 Common Body of Knowledge® (CBK).
Current Concentrations for CISSPs include the:
- ISSAP, Concentration in Architecture
- ISSEP, Concentration in Engineering
