I received my official CISSP congratulations email from ISC²!!! For those of you waiting on endorsement approval, it took 1 day short of 3 weeks.

Congrats! 20 days?!?! I'm jealous. It took me a few days past a month myself.

What's next for you?

Sorry, I guess the summer is a slower time for testing and ISC2 can turn them around faster.

Funny you should ask cause not 10 min after receiving the email I was looking at CISM certification info.

Thank you. We got me in the same week. Is your certification cycle date for CPE's August 1st as well?

Thank you letstrythis and the hutch.

You masochist! I was looking at it as well. But the next test is in December so I'm looking for something to take up between now and September when I figure I'd start buckling down and getting serious with CISM.

Yep. August 1 to July 2015

I figured someone out there would want to know. When did you submit the endorsement paperwork?

Pardon the newbie question - do I understand that the CPE cycle date will probably begin the first of the month following the official certification date? If so, then "RATS" because I have a 2-day security conference that will probably land between my official cert date and my CPE cycle date

Yes, that's seems to be how it works. I'm similarly doing a CoBIT course and cert in the next week but my cycle starts on 8/1. Oh well...

At least we have three years to make up for it!

I was looking at CISM, GSEC, CEH and CCNP switch as potential suitors. I already have the CCNP materials because that was my pursuit before I got this SecAdmin job. So that would be the cheapest thing to study (just pay for the test) The others would cost a bit of money, but they're all in line with my current job and any others that I'd pursue. I'm probably going to register for the CISM and start studying in late September/early October so just gotta figure if I can squeeze either the CEH or Switch into 2 1/2 months. i'm leading towards Switch since I know the stuff though in reading about the CEH, it looks like it may be doable in the timeframe mentioned as well. GSEC is probably not happening unless my employer pays for the class.

So most likely it'll be Switch, then CISM, then finish CCNP, and hopefully GSEC & CEH then back to CCNP Security. That's the plan as or right now anyway.

Good luck! Sounds like you'll be busy.

I'm definitely taking the CISM with you in December, I may pursue GSec later this year but I just decided that while waiting for the CISM I think the ISSMP would be beneficial. So I signed up for an early August review seminar and will take the ISSMP exam immediately following the course.

Curse you! Why'd you have to mention the ISSMP?

Now I have to fit that thing in somewhere...

ISSMP is good pre-study for CISM. maybe you'll fit it in around October...

JCast, I submitted my endorsement paperwork on Thursday, July 12
