CISSP Concentration Exams still the same?

Budoka — Sat, 08 May 2021 17:32:16 GMT

It isn’t clear to me if the exam changes to the CISSP that took effect on May 1 also impact the concentration exams as well?

Can someone point me to anything addressing this? Or are they unchanged?

Any changes to the CISSP exam outline would not have any immediate bearing on the Concentrations.

The Concentrations are certifications in their own right, and have their own exam outlines, which in turn follow their own refresh schedules.

The ISSAP and ISSEP were both refreshed towards the end of 2020 so won't be getting refreshed again for a while.

The ISSMP exam outline is from May 2018 so should be due for a refresh in the not too distant future although no details have been released yet, and there's typically a 6 month notice period before any forthcoming changes take effect.

You can find all the exam outlines here:
