In order to maintain an (ISC)2 credential, it is required that all members accrue Continuing
Professional Education (CPE) credits on an annual basis. The amount of CPEs necessary is
predicated by the type of credential held.
CISSP certification is maintained for three years when 120 CPEs are accrued,
however a minimum of 20 credits must be achieved in each of the three
years. This ensures that a CISSP stays current with new information security
practices and technologies.
CPE credits are earned through activities related to the information security
profession including, but not limited to, the following:
Each of these activities is represented by a different number of credits, for instance one CPE credit is
accrued for each hour a member spends at a relevant course or seminar.
You will notice the use of the terms Group A and Group B CPEs, and the requirement for the collection of
each type. The topic of the activity determines the relevant group and typically they may be as shown below.
CPEs are awarded for activities over and above your normal job requirements or experience. For
instance time spent preparing an information security presentation for a community organization
would qualify for Group A CPEs. The equivalent amount of time spent preparing for preparing a
client or commercial presentation would not qualify.
Be an Education Volunteer
Call your local police, schools and non-profits and ask about volunteer opportunities to educate
the public about security. CPEs are awarded for the initial preparation of a presentation.

Join a Professional Information Security Organization
Join and actively participate in a professional information security organization.
Attendance and board service can earn you CPEs. An added bonus: some of these
organizations also offer free information security courses or opportunities to
participate in speaking or training engagements.
Once you have completed your activity, you should submit an online form. Unless otherwise
stated CPE records are updated regularly. You do not need to submit proof of the CPEs at
this stage, but make sure you keep course transcripts, receipts, certificates or other documents
for 12 months after you see the CPEs appear on your record. Some events are presented
by a CPE Provider/Submitter who will submit on your behalf.
Check your CPE record frequently to ensure you are receiving the correct credits, but just in case
we will send you a transcript annually, on the anniversary of your certification, with a summary of
activities for the current certification cycle.
To make it easier to track your CPEs, new features are being added to our member site.
This means that your profile is automatically linked to our database, Microsoft CRM4M, and
you will always know the status of your membership.
