I got a bit of questions posed to me off the list.

The cost of the exam is $450. It is one of the more expensive
certifications to pursue.

If the CISSP seems to be too at once, the GIAC related certs may
be of interest (they are less broad, but more technical). Or, the
new SSCP, also from (ISC)2 may be more your bailiwick.

A blog packed with CISSP information. (Yes, I find it a bit
ironic that a security focused site is running phpnuke.)

I have already reviewed the material for two months. I am mostly
looking for a braindump shortly before the exam.
