On August 1, 2025, ISC2 will update the ISSMP credential exam. These updates are the result of the Job Task Analysis (JTA), which is an analysis of the current content of the credential evaluated by ISC2 members on a triennial cycle.

Any hints on best references or study aids? I passed the ISSEP last summer after taking the ISC2 online self-paced training plus a month more or less of self-study (the references). The majority of information was very familiar and aligns with a lot of the work I've been doing with the DoD over the past couple of decades. I've collected all the references from the posted list and will study / review the material as I did for the ISSEP, unless somebody makes a good recommendation for supplementary material. I'd like to take the exam in the next month or so. My background: I certified CISSP about 20 years ago, the CAP (CGRC) and the ISACA CISM about 18 years ago. I've worked in Information Assurance/Cyber Security supporting the DoD since 2007 (not including my military career).

Good morning. Will someone at ISC2 please dogfood the UX for looking into the ISSMP study materials? First, the email I received which should have delivered the "ultimate guide to the ISSMP" delivered the "ultimate guide to the ISSEP". Next, the "thank you" page for registering for the ultimate guide (found here) includes the November 2022 exam guide. The guide as presented on the link still labels the exam as the CISSP-ISSMP. I had forgotten that I'd downloaded the ultimate guide back in June, but the "ultimate guide" link I received at that time had a November 2023 date. I saved that download to a specific folder on my PC, so it's a stare-and-compare of side-by-side documents. This is just a courtesy note. Y'all know my email address if you'd like to ask questions directly!
