Information Systems Security Architecture Professional
This looks pretty strong. It requires the CISSP and goes into more depth in a few areas. Pretty attractive. Here’s more, from the site:
Recognition for Advanced Expertise in Information Security Architecture
This concentration requires a candidate to demonstrate two years of professional experience in the area of architecture and is an appropriate credential for Chief Security Architects and Analysts who may typically work as independent consultants or in similar capacities. The architect plays a key role within the information security department with responsibilities that functionally fit between the C-suite and upper managerial level and the implementation of the security program.
He/she would generally develop, design, or analyze the overall security plan. Although this role may typically be tied closely to technology this is not necessarily the case, and is fundamentally the consultative and analytical process of information security.
