Getting CISSP first and then CCSP is a common track to get certified.<BR /><BR />To get CISSP first before CCSP depends on what you want to do with this. Getting a job I think CISSP would be best to take first. If your company is in a transition to the cloud and you’re the security officer? I would say CCSP first.<BR /><BR />If you have the time and money to take the CISSP exam after you passed CISSP is always a good idea if you ask me.<BR /><BR />So it’s up to you.
