The Information Systems Security Architecture Professional (CISSP-ISSAP) certification, offered by ISC², is an advanced-level credential designed for security architects, senior engineers, consultants, and IT leaders who specialize in designing and implementing secure enterprise architectures. This course aligns with the official ISC² CISSP-ISSAP exam objectives and builds upon the core CISSP knowledge by focusing on architectural frameworks, governance, controls, and integration of security solutions within complex enterprise systems.

The CISSP-ISSAP is ideal for professionals responsible for defining security requirements, creating enterprise security strategies, and ensuring regulatory compliance while supporting business and IT objectives.

Key topics include:

• Architectural frameworks & design principles: SABSA, TOGAF, and NIST cybersecurity frameworks

• Security architecture modeling: designing secure infrastructures for on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments

• Identity & access control integration: enforcing RBAC, SSO, MFA, and federated identity solutions

• Cryptography in architecture: encryption, key management, and securing sensitive communications

• Network & infrastructure security: segmentation, secure routing, firewalls, and SD-WAN integration

• Application & data security: protecting APIs, databases, and distributed systems

• Compliance & governance: aligning with PCI-DSS, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, and other regulatory frameworks

• Risk management & security controls: assessing threats, prioritizing mitigations, and designing resilient systems
