(ISC)- is one of the most respected global certification organizations. (ISC) is a not-for-profit organization that focuses on educating and certifying security professionals from all experience levels.

The SSCP credential is ideal for those who are working toward or already hold positions as senior network security engineers, senior security systems analysts, or senior security administrators. Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) (ISC) 's flagship credential is the Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP). The CISSP was the first ANSI/ISO-accredited credential in the field of information security.

The CISSP credential demonstrates competence in the 10 domains of the (ISC)- CISSP CBK. The CISSP credential targets middle and senior-level managers who are working toward or already hold positions as chief information security officers (CISOs), chief security officers (CSOs), or senior security engineers.
