When that cert will get me the contract over someone that doesn't have that cert, I could care less if that phone operator could spell CISSP.... Now I'm not saying that it's good public relations for their operators not to know ISC2's own policies, but for a lot of security professionals, those 5 letters might as well be spelled $$$$$.... just like MSCE was way back when.... and who knows what will be 5 years from now.... Please no replies with "well *I* don't have the CISSP and I'm getting contracts left and right... for those FEW that can win a contract without those letters, more power to them keep up the good work! Just hope that you don't bid for a contract and go up against someone that HAS those 5 letters.... you'll probably not win that contract... in the real world, thye DO mean something to potential employers, thats why people get the certs. If they're a paper only type certified, well they won't be able to finish the contract and either get fired or worse. Exibar

ISC2 will continue to respond to any employer requests for (ISC)2 credential holder verifications. Such requests must be in writing on the employer's company letterhead and a release signature from theCISSP/SSCPmust be included in the request. "Do you want to give much weight to a cert from an organization, when the organization's *own* staff can't get that one right? (I mean, we'd not be having this interchange if the original poster had been told that by ISC2, would we?)
