Rquirement for CISSP

Currently I am working as IT auditor and in my audits, I perform a security audit once a year. As security auditing is one of the domains of CISSP, I am wondering whether after completing 5 years on this job (ISC)2 will consider as someone worthy to receive CISSP certificate.

According to the CISSP requirements, you need to work within at least two of the domains. If you can provide experience in any one of the other domains, you should be golden.

I have also recently been looking at how my work experiences align with the CISSP domains. Some advice I got that may apply to you is to look closely at the type of jobs/work you do and find how it may match topics in the domain.

As an example, as an I.T. auditor do you work with networking concepts (Telecommunications and Network Security domain); does the auditing require following laws or regulations (Legal, Regulations, Investigations and Compliance domain); any of your tasks or reports used as part of an overall business impact plan (Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Planning).

My 2 cents, hope it helps.
