Opens next. The first practice exam opens at 125 verified questions, spread across all 6 domains.
Every question here is checked against the official page it cites before it serves, which is why the count grows slowly.
Where to focus: The ISSMP spreads 100 percent across six domains, so no single area exceeds 21 percent and the two smallest, Contingency Management and Law, Ethics, and Security Compliance Management, still total 26 percent between them. Questions are management framed rather than technical, so read for the decision being asked about, not the control.
What the exam actually asks you to do
Multiple choice and ISC2's advanced item types. There is no lab and no simulation, so the practice that matters is reading a scenario and choosing well.

Frequently asked questions
Must I hold a CISSP to take the ISSMP exam?
ISC2's ISSMP exam outline gives two options: a CISSP in good standing plus two years cumulative full-time experience in one or more of the six ISSMP domains, or a minimum of seven years cumulative full-time experience in two or more of the domains. The ISC2 certifications page summarises the requirement as 'CISSP + 2 Years or 7 years cumulative'.
What are the ISSMP exam mechanics?
ISC2 lists 3 hours, 125 items, multiple choice and advanced item types, and 700 out of 1000 points to pass. The exam is available in English at Pearson VUE testing centers.
What is the ISSMP exam price?
ISC2's exam pricing page shows U.S. $599 standard registration for the ISSMP exam in the Americas, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa, EUR 575.04 in EMEA, and GBP 485.19 in the United Kingdom.
How do I keep the ISSMP current?
ISC2 works on a three-year certification cycle with automatic recertification once CPE credits and the annual maintenance fee are met. Members who also hold a CISSP need 20 Group A CPE credits a year, 60 across the cycle, tied directly to the ISSMP; members without a CISSP are listed at 47 a year and 140 across the cycle. One annual maintenance fee of U.S. $135 covers all ISC2 certifications held.
