We've got a training budget to use up by april so my boss asked us to have a think and see if there was anything we'd want to do.

He's already agreed to put me through my CISSP but I can't sit the exam for another 2 years.

He suggested looking into the IISP (Institute of Information Security Professionals) which was about to launch early next year as a European equivalent(rival?) to the CISSP.

But I haven't been able to find very much.

Some stuff within http://www.issa-uk.org/

and http://www.uksaint.org/

Just wondered if anyone had had any involvement?
