The Official (ISC)2® Guide to the CISSP®-ISSEP® CBK® provides an inclusive analysis of all of the topics covered on the newly created CISSP-ISSEP Common Body of Knowledge. The first fully comprehensive guide to the CISSP-ISSEP CBK, this book promotes understanding of the four ISSEP domains: Information Systems Security Engineering (ISSE); Certification and Accreditation; Technical Management; and an Introduction to United States Government Information Assurance Regulations.
This volume explains ISSE by comparing it to a traditional Systems Engineering model, enabling you to see the correlation of how security fits into the design and development process for information systems. It also details key points of more than 50 U.S. government policies and procedures that need to be understood in order to understand the CBK and protect U.S. government information.

Okay, but dated:
While most of the information in this book is okay, this book is dated and is missing a lot of key essentials. The _FISMA Certification and Accreditation Handbook_ has more in depth information.
Someone please offer a new book on this subject!:
There is enough information in the book to pass the ISSEP, provided you already possess a strong IA foundation. Recommend also reading the source documents, especially the IATF and CC, to improve your odds of passing the exam the first time. Also recommend looking at the ISSEP section in the latest Krutz and Vines CISSP study guide.
Essential Reference for the ISSEP Exam:
This book is a useful guide through the forest of regulations, laws, standards, and processes that are required knowledge for the ISSEP exam. I used it to study for and pass the ISSEP.
A bit too high level:
This book is actually pretty good but I kept comparing to the Shon Harris CISSP book. This book is very high level and is not recommended for beginners. I would recommend this book only for security profssionals with more than 3 years of experience. If you are a beginner, get the Shon Harris book.
