Passed CISSP !!

I took the exam on 6th Feb 2013 and managed to nail it after torturous 5 hours

Didnt get any score thou. Had to take 2 breaks to refresh my brain but finally managed to clear it. Should say this exam at times focuses too much on technical details of topics like Cryptography and Telecommunications. Given my experience in IT audit, I have never come across need to know all that stuff.

One question to all : What is the next step? Which exam should I go for now? FYI, I have 4 years of experience with 2 years each in SDLC and IT Audit. All inputs are welcome. Thanks !

No score on pass, because then we'd all be like "yo, my 999 is better than your 998".

Congrats on the pass.

Congratulations!

If you will be continuing your career in IT auditing, you should immediately look at the CISA certification from ISACA. 3-5 years of experience is required to get the full certification, but you can take the exam at any time.

@ITSecGuy - good job! The route suggested by JDMurray seems to be a very viable path for someone working in IT Audit. I'd just like to add the GSNA from GIAC: Systems and Network Auditor Certification: GSNA

Good luck once more!

I was also pondering on same lines as suggested by JDMurray and finally decided to take the CISA exam coming June. The early registration deadline is 13th Feb. So had to decide fast
