Certification hierarchy

This may be a stupid question, but I'm curious. I have seen posts on here periodically that mention a particular certification as a low/beginning level and another as a mid or higher level certification. I understand that within one provider that certifications are ranked, i.e. CCENT -> CCNA -> CCNP, etc.
Single provider certifications are easy to figure out. What I'm trying to figure out is how inter-provider certifications stack up (escpecially in the security arena)? I know that CISSP is a higher level certification. But, how does one compare Security+, CCNA Security, C|EH, CASP, SSCP, and all the others? Just curious.

You may find this website useful: CompTIA Career Pathways
Although some may disagree on where certain certifications may lie, it gives you a better idea how certain vendors and certs stack up. Enjoy. -

Nice website. I imagine that trying to line up all the different certifications can be difficult. That helps clear things up. Thanks!

It's difficult and subjective because it's apples to oranges comparison.“You don’t become great by trying to be great. You become great by wanting to do something, and then doing it so hard that you become great in the process.” (c) xkcd #896

yea they have MCSA as beginner/Novice. Granted the 2000 one was much easier than 2008R2 but no way.
