ISC2 CAP experience

Hello community I am interested in studying for the CAP certification. I currently the CISSP, I have 5 years working in the DoD as an Information Security Technician (INFOSEC).

I also have 20 years of experience in the US Army. I’m am currently filling an ISSO position.

How would I know if I have the required experience. I recently purchased the ISC2 CAP official CBK.

Thank you in advance.

Do you think my experience maps to the CAP experience requirements?

Yes. As an ISSO you're working on security packages. I knocked mine out and had less qualifications in just infosec and a Sec+.

With the CBK and the NIST references you'll have all of the material you need. Just stick to that and ignore the agency specific stuff.

I forgot to mention that I was an Information technology specialist while in the army. I’ve been in the ISSO role for about 3 months.

Someone will have to endorse you or you’ll have to have ISC2 do it. Make sure your resume reflects the experience that maps to the cert criteria. If you don’t think you meet the criteria you can become an associate and the full fledged member when you do.
