It does not run ads, does not use affiliate links, and does not sell or rent anyone’s information. Last updated: August 7, 2026.

Important: certifiedcissp.com is not affiliated with ISC2. This is an independent, unofficial informational website. It is not affiliated with, associated with, authorized by, endorsed by, sponsored by, or in any way officially connected to ISC2 (International Information System Security Certification Consortium, Inc.), the organization that owns and administers the CISSP certification.

What We Collect

certifiedcissp.com collects very little, and only in two ways:

  • Messages you send us. If you use the contact form or email us at contact@certifiedcissp.com, we receive your email address and whatever you choose to include in your message. We use this only to respond to you.
  • Basic usage analytics. The Site uses Google Analytics to understand how visitors use its pages. Google Analytics sets cookies and collects standard technical data such as IP address, browser and device type, pages viewed, and referring pages. We use this in aggregate to improve the content. We do not use it to identify individual visitors.

Like most websites, the Site’s hosting provider may also keep standard server logs (for example, IP addresses and request times) for security and reliability.

Cookies and How to Opt Out

The only cookies the Site relies on come from Google Analytics. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, and you can opt out of Google Analytics specifically using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. Blocking these cookies does not affect your ability to read the Site.

How Your Information Is Shared

We do not sell, rent, or trade your information. The only third party involved is Google, which processes the analytics data described above under its own privacy policy. We may disclose information if required by law.

Third-Party Links

The Site links to external resources such as ISC2, NIST, and other authoritative sources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites, so review their policies before sharing information with them.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights under laws such as the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including the right to access or delete the limited information we hold and to opt out of analytics. To make a request, email us at contact@certifiedcissp.com. Because we collect so little, most requests are simple to honor.

Data Retention, Security, and Children

We keep contact messages only as long as needed to respond and follow up, then delete them. Analytics data is retained according to Google’s standard settings. We use reasonable safeguards, though no website can promise perfect security. The Site is intended for adults and cybersecurity professionals and is not directed to children under 16.

Changes to This Policy

If this policy changes, the date at the top of this page will be updated. Continued use of the Site after a change means you accept the revised policy.
