“Where and how am I allowed to use “Associate of ISC2″ on resumes” is a question with some confusion for students. 

If you take and pass the CISSP exam, but you do not have the required (5) years of work experience, you will get the designation “Associate of ISC2” until you fulfill the work requirements.

I will try to make it clear here, what you can and can’t do when you pass the CISSP exam, but do not have the required work experience.

  • You can include “Associate of ISC2” in your resume, but not which exam.
    • You can elude to it with “specializing in Information Security Leadership & Operations”. Most recruiters would have no clue which certification that would be.
  • You can also add a link to your digital badge on the ISC2 website. <- This is the best solution.
    • The badge will show the actual exam you passed on the “Associate of ISC2” badge.
    • If you passed the CISSP it will say “Associate of ISC2 – CISSP”,
  • Do not mentioning CISSP anywhere online is an ethics violation and no-go.
    • Don’t write “Associate of ISC2 – CISSP” or anything mentioning CISSP. This can get you banned from ISC2 for life.

I hope that clears up some confusion.
