Unfortunately, I don't have an update on ISSMP at this time. I'll look into this and see if there's an estimated time frame for it.
CSSLP- Out now
ISSAP- Out now
CCFP- December 2013
SSCP- End of Q1 2014
ISSEP- End of Q1 2014
HCISPP- Q2 2014
ISSMP- Q3 2014
The new cloud computing certification (not on website, under development) will also have a book published. Estimated time frame is Q2 2014.
I have known this exam was going to exist for only the last half minute and I already intend to be one of the first 10 to pass it. Any recommended study materials?
EDIT: Knowing (ISC)2's international bend, I would wager that CSA and ENISA best practice guidance will be closest in the event that the test arrives earlier than the book. Is there a beta testing group I can pay to get into?
SECOND EDIT: A summary Google proved me half right. (ISC)2 and CSA are teaming up on it, release anticipated 2014. Hrmph.
The cloud computing certification is still in development so I lack answers at this time. While we offer public beta classes for established certifications that are going through curriculum and format changes, typically beta classes for new certifications are private and just for instructors and internal stakeholders.
I'd be curious enough to go through the newest edition to see how much will change. The pass rating for the concentrations appear to be very low and not climbing like the CISSP numbers.

I really appreciate the information thus far. It has been most helpful in determining my study path and near-to-mid term certification goals. I don't want to seem ungrateful or anything - just excited.
CCFP- Q1 2014
HCISPP- Q2 2014
Cloud (acronym TBD)- Q2 2014
ISSMP- Late Q2 to early Q3 2014
SSCP- Late Q2 to early Q3 2014
CISSP- Q4 2014
ISSEP- On hold
CAP- No ETA
I know I nag you every time you come around here with updates, and I'm sorry for that, but you always provide a wealth of information.
So, now that my apology is out of the way, would you be able to give me a ballpark estimate of the when the cloud security exam is intended to go live?
Thanks much!
Redz, I'm always more than happy to provide updates where I can. Ballpark estimate is early April for the Cloud exam. There's been no official announcement on it yet but that will come sometime in Q1 2014.
As always, it's tentative and subject to change.
Also, I have a subscription to Safari, and the CBK book isn't on there, either - but there is a video course that looks like it covers some of the same material.
