The benchmarking of the CISSP was conducted by UK NARIC, the UK's designated national agency responsible for providing information and expert guidance on academic, vocational and professional qualifications from across the world.

UK NARIC conducted an in-depth independent benchmarking study of the CISSP certification, using its well-established methodology for credential evaluation.

"Recognizing the CISSP as comparable to Masters level qualifications further underlines the robust educational and operational value of the certification within Europe," said Deshini Newman, managing director EMEA at².

UK NARIC's independent benchmarking of the CISSP to the RQF enables certification holders to understand how their qualification compares in the context of the UK education system, and to the RQF. UK NARIC's recognition of the certification is effective immediately and extends to all members in good standing that hold the CISSP..
