Hi Folks, Thought I'd share a recent update the The NIST 800-160 Vol 1 has traditionally been considered one of the important chapter for aspirants of CISSP-ISSEP certification.   Nov22 this year this publication has been updated.    I presume the exam contents would be in-line with this update.   Regards V   View More

Passed the exam on 5 Dec and wanted to share the recourses I used for preparation. Good luck all!    Use the free (ISC)2 ISSEP flashcards and note the references. The bulk of your self-study will be reading these docs, 800-160 v1 will be most important! Use the (ISC)2 CAP flashcards as well.  I also attended a ISSEP boot camp (reimbursed by employer) through Infosec Institute. Content was a little outdated but the instructor was great and it forced me to spend an entire week reading those NIST references. Read these books: PMBOK 6th   Ed INCOSE systems engineering handbook 4th   ed Systems engineering principles and practice 3rd   ed The key things for me was understanding Systems Lifecycle activities, current RMF, roles/responsibilities within RMF, artifacts from RMF/SE/ISSE processes, and incident response. An easy way to remember the SE/ISSE process mentioned in the DoD IATF is N-R-A-D-I-A. Needs (Security/Operational) Requirements Architecture Design Implementation Assessment Finally, have a good understanding of assessment and authorization, continuous monitoring, and disposal. With enough study time and dedication you should be able to craft your own study plan and knock ISSEP out of the park. Good Luck! View More

See below study materials i utilized. Caveat; I'm CISM, CRISC certified so Risk Management was not a challenge. studied 2hrs a day for 6months   - Purchased and watched ISSEP training seminar video training 3 times. (pricey but it was an great investment)  - SP 800-160 r1 entirely - SP 800-161 - SP 800-88 - IATF CH 1-4 - SSE-CCM CISSP is still undefeated! View More
