CISSP-ISSMP: Information Systems Security Management Professional Exam Prep Training & Certification Course
Advanced security leadership training covering governance, risk, security programs, operations, and resilience.
Course Overview
This ISC2-aligned course integrates hands-on learning through scenario-based labs that simulate real-world security management challenges. Students work with industry-standard frameworks and tools including NIST Cybersecurity Framework, ISO/IEC 27001, COBIT, FAIR risk modeling, and third-party risk management platforms. In a cloud-based lab environment, learners build comprehensive security governance programs by configuring incident response plans, developing Business Impact Analyses (BIA), designing Security Operations Center (SOC) frameworks, and implementing compliance dashboards. One key project involves creating an end-to-end disaster recovery strategy that integrates business continuity planning (BCP), continuity of operations (COOP), and crisis communication protocols, enabling students to demonstrate executive-level decision-making and alignment of technical controls with business objectives.
The CISSP-ISSMP: Information Systems Security Management Professional Exam Prep course prepares candidates for the ISC2 ISSMP certification, a globally recognized credential that validates expertise in security leadership and program governance. According to ISC2’s 2025 Cybersecurity Workforce Study, ISSMP holders earn a median global salary of $130,000, with higher compensation in regulated sectors and executive roles. Optiv Solutions enhances this preparation with official ISC2 courseware, Guaranteed-to-Run scheduling, and 30 days of hands-on lab access, ensuring candidates gain both theoretical mastery and practical experience. Upon completion, professionals are positioned to lead enterprise security initiatives, drive compliance, and advance into strategic leadership roles such as CISO or Head of Cybersecurity Governance.
