Just a quick note to all CISSPs, or other certification-holders from (ISC)2

(ISC)2 is taking a hard stand on CPE submissions and coming down heavy-handed on audits. If you attend an event, even if the event host is an (ISC)2 CPE-Submitter, you need to retain your ‘proof of attendance’ and keep those documents on file. Generally an event host will provide a CPE audit retention sheet at the time of the event, or post-event.

I recently received an audit for my attendance at the RSA Conference in February. While they don’t specify a specific date or time frame you have to respond, I would recommend responding to an audit within 30 days.

Here are some quick tips…

• Provide your CISSP number to event hosts that are CPE-Submitters
• Keep and file any documentation, programs and badges from the event
• If provided, keep the ‘Proof of Attendance’ sheet from the event host
• Keep supporting docs for 12 months past the 3-year certification cycle you claimed the CPEs in
