SSCP after CISSP
Hi,
I have the CISSP and I was thinking of doing the SSCP but was not sure if there is any point since I have the CISSP.
Thanks,

I would say a vendor/tech-specific certification relative to the area in which you work would be a more effective use of time and money. -

In my opinion, once you have the CISSP there is no reason to get the SSCP. You can, however, still learn a lot by readying the SSCP study materials.

Only caveat is which group they will fall into if the domains match up. If the domains match between certs for the CPE they will be group A, if not then it will be counted as a group B for the cert that does not match the domain. If that is indeed the case I will pursue my SSCP as at that point the only recurring issue will me the MAF and not the duplication of necessary CPEs.

Optionssomeslacker Member Posts: 37 ■■□□□□□□□□I have recently submitted CPEs and have seen the dropdown but thankfully ISC2 spelled it out quite clearly on the Required Number of CPE Credits page. Concentrations are another matter but as it stands with CISSP, SSCP, CAP and CSSLP I'm going with what they say...just sayin'.
"If you hold more than one (ISC)² credential, the CPEs you submit will automatically be counted toward all of your active credentials. CPE activities should not be entered more than one time."

I contacted ISC2 and asked them directly and you can use them for both with no problems.
