2026 - Study Material and References for ISSAP Exam

[isc2gif]

Hi there. I am planning on taking the ISSAP exam in July-August timeframe, and the ISSAP is replacing my current ECFirst Security Architect cert. I have been a CISSP since 2005 and CCSP in 2018, so it has been a while since I completed an ISC2 exam. I am self-studying for the ISSAP exam.

Besides the Official ISC2 ISSAP eTextbook, I am reviewing the suggested references listed on ISC2 website. What other materials have you utilized to study for the ISSAP? 

Plus, on a recent broadcast from InfosecTrain, the ISSAP exam questions will also pull from a couple of domains for CISSP and SSCP, which is confusing since to my understanding, ISSAP domains were reduced from 6 to 4. Do you know anything about this?

Thanks in advanced. --George

Not sure where you or they got their information.

QUESTIONS are NOT re-used across exams.  I would ask that @CBMExamTeam chime in here to validate.

One must look at the original inception of the concentrations (AP and MP), they were intended to be deeper dives into areas of the CISSP.  Both the AP and the MP have similar sounding domains to the CISSP as the intent was for them to be "Master" or Senior level understanding.

Through the years, someone decided they could stand alone (I personally never agreed with that but I did not get a vote).

Also note you posted a dump site in you message which is not acceptable.

@dcontesti What do you mean a dump site? Which link appeared to be a dump site?

One was a Youtube link and the 2 others were ECFirst + ISC2 links.
