igmGuru's CSSLP training equips software developers, architects, and security professionals to embed security into every phase of the SDLC. This CSSLP Certification course covers all eight ISC2 domains from secure requirements and design to coding, testing, deployment, and supply chain risk through live instructor-led sessions and real-world case studies, preparing you thoroughly for the Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) exam and for building genuinely secure software on the job.
Software is now the biggest attack surface most organizations have, and regulators, customers, and CISOs increasingly expect security to be designed in rather than patched on afterward. The CSSLP is the only ISC2 credential built specifically around that shift-left mindset, it proves you can apply security thinking at the requirements, design, coding, testing, and deployment stages, not just after a breach. With AI-assisted and AI-generated code now a routine part of development, the current CSSLP exam outline (effective since September 15, 2023) has also been updated to test how well you can secure that workflow. Add to this its recognition under U.S. DoD Directive 8140.03 and consistently strong salary data for application security roles, and CSSLP becomes one of the more practical, technically credible certifications a software or security professional can add to their profile in 2026.

igmGuru's CSSLP training is built to align with this official, current exam outline so what you study in class is exactly what ISC2 tests.
The CSSLP exam cost is USD $599 in the Americas, Asia-Pacific, and Middle East/Africa regions, with local-currency pricing in the UK (around GBP 485) and Europe (around EUR 575). This fee is paid directly to ISC2/Pearson VUE at the time of scheduling and does not include training or study material.
Beyond the $599 exam fee, budget for training (such as igmGuru's CSSLP training online), any study guides or practice tests, and post-certification costs: a $135 Annual Maintenance Fee (AMF) charged by ISC2 and the effort to earn 120 CPE credits every three years. Many employers reimburse part or all of these costs.
Combine structured training with self-study. Work through a reliable CSSLP study guide and the official ISC2 exam outline domain by domain, reinforce concepts with flashcards and scenario-based practice questions, and take full-length timed mock exams to build pace and confidence before test day.
CISSP validates broad security management and leadership skills across an organization, while CSSLP focuses specifically and technically on building security into every phase of the software development lifecycle. Developers, architects, and AppSec engineers typically find CSSLP more directly aligned to their day-to-day work.
CSSLP certification is valid for three years. To maintain it, certified professionals must earn 120 Continuing Professional Education (CPE) credits within that cycle and pay the $135 Annual Maintenance Fee (AMF) each year to ISC2.
Yes. ISC2 allows retakes after a mandatory waiting period, typically 30 days after the first attempt, 90 days after the second, and 180 days after subsequent attempts. Each retake requires paying the exam fee again unless a Peace of Mind Protection plan with multiple attempts was purchased upfront.
Yes, igmGuru's CSSLP training online is delivered as 30 hours of live, instructor-led sessions that you can attend from anywhere, with flexible weekday and weekend batches designed for working professionals alongside recordings for revision.
