What is the CISSP CBK?
The CISSP Common Body of Knowledge (CBK) is an established information security framework covering security terminology, principles and a library of cyber security topics. It is sometimes referred to as the CISSP syllabus.
Created by ISC2, the CBK is used to assess a student’s level of security knowledge when preparing for and sitting the CISSP exam.
CISSPs are subject matter experts (SMEs) who work within two or more of these eight domains and possess advanced knowledge, skills, and experience gained through certification.

- An approved credential from ISC2’s experience waiver list
You may also opt to take and sit the CISSP exam without the required experience. If you do pass the exam without the prerequisite experience, you will become an Associate of ISC2.

An endorsement form for this purpose must be completed and signed by an ISC2 certified professional who is an active member, and who can attest to your professional experience. You are required to become certified within nine months of the date of your exam.
If you do not become certified or an Associate of ISC2 within 9 months of the date of your exam, you will be required to retake the exam in order to become certified. It is possible for ISC2 to endorse you if you cannot find a certified individual to act as one.
