The CISSP doesn't require any specific education.  You are allowed to  
substitute  the degree for some of the experience (1 year I believe),  
but having 5 years experience would seem to be enough from what is  
written on the ISC2 site.

Their details are at https://www.isc2.org/cgi-bin/content.cgi?category=1187
