Difference between CISSP and SSCP

There might already be a thread on this but didn't find it. I was wondering hat the difference was between the CISSP exam and the SSCP exam. I know about all the requirements and everything already, but I was wondering like what are the differences between the topics of both exams.

There are a number of posts here that compare the CBK domains of the CISSP and SSCP. There is some overlap in the domains, and each cert covers material the other doesn't. The CISSP is heavier on non-technical topics, which people refer to a "business" or "managerial." The SSCP is more technical in theory and operations.

I have done some research for you, below are just a few links to some of the old posts that compare the two designations, hope it's what you are after:

Then oddly the concentrations become much more technical again.
