Once you have passed the CISSP exam, you have nine months to complete the endorsement process. Your certificate should then be issued in four to eight weeks.
The CISSP is one of the most sought-after information security qualifications, so it isn’t easy to attain. As well as having the appropriate work experience, you must pass an intensive 6-hour exam comprising 250 questions. The pass mark is 70%.

Once you have passed the CISSP exam, you have nine months to complete the endorsement process. This entails an (ISC)2-certified professional attesting that your claims to the necessary professional experience are true and that you are of good standing in the cyber security industry.
