Why CISSP carries weight in the US

1

Broad DoD 8140 coverage

CISSP covers IAT Level III, IAM Levels II and III and IASAE Levels I to III, more DoD 8140 levels than Security+ or CISM.

2

Your voucher is included

The US exam fee is $749. With CertOcean's CISSP course, the voucher is part of the course fee, so you have one price to plan for.

3

No experience yet? You can still start

Pass the exam before you have five years in two domains and you become an Associate of ISC2, then earn the full CISSP as you build the experience.
