If you went to ISC2's site and go to Directory of CISSPs and SSCPs and read:

"... ISC2 will continue to respond to any employer requests for (ISC)2
credential holder verifications. Such requests must be in writing on the
employer's company letterhead and a release signature from the CISSP/SSCP
must be included in the request. "
