"CISSP requires 5 years of experience to achieve. You can take the CISSP exam without any experience (after doing the courses), and then you'll have 6 years to complete your 5 years of industry experience. After that, you officially submit your endorsement to become an official CISSP, and then you can start using those letters after your name. In the meantime you can put on your CV/LinkedIn you have passed the exam. " - Nathan House
