ISC2 Member Referral Program

Refer a Friend to the CISSP and You Both Earn $50

As part of the CISSP 30th anniversary celebrations, CISSP holders can now earn rewards while helping to close the cybersecurity workforce gap by referring friends to the CISSP certification. All you need to do is share the referral application form and your ISC2 member ID with a potential CISSP (this may be a friend, a work colleague or anyone who you think would benefit from CISSP). Once they pass the CISSP exam and become an ISC2 member (they need to complete these steps within 6 months), you’ll both receive a $50 online gift voucher of your choice.

The CISSP is the most globally recognized certification in the cybersecurity market. Earning the CISSP will validate their deep technical knowledge and prove that they have what it takes to effectively design, implement and manage a best-in-class cybersecurity program.

ISC2 membership comes with professional development programs, CPE opportunities and exclusive benefits to help them stay relevant and thrive in their careers.

“The CISSP opened many doors for me in terms of getting interviews and placing me in front of the right people. Later in my career, it helped me meet and connect with a large number of peers, many of whom have become good friends.”

Javvad Malik, Security Awareness Advocate at KnowBe4, as well as blogger and YouTuber at JavvadMalik.com

“CISSP is more than just a certification. It is proof to peers that you have a passion to be in this field and to get a broader understanding of the cybersecurity issues.”

Jason Lau, CISO for Crypto.com

“I feel like the CISSP course of study allowed me to grow so quickly because it is such a broad and standardized framework where you learn a little bit of everything.”

Dr. Christine Izuakor, CEO of Cyber Pop-up
