[ml] Official: Changes in (ISC)2 Credential Recertification Requirements

https://www.isc2.org/cgi-bin/content.cgi?page=11289

Dal prossimo 30 Aprile 2008 cambierá la procedura per il mantenimento 
della certificazione CISSP (ed anche SSCP e CAP). A partire da quella 
data, per mantenere la credenziale occorrerá soddisfare *annualmente* 
*anziche triennalmente* i requisiti di /Continuing Professional 
Education/ (CPE) e di /Annual Maintenance Fees/ (AMF).

/"Currently, to maintain the CISSP certification, a member is required 
to earn and submit a total of 120 CPEs and pay US$85 by the end of a 
three-year certification cycle. Under the new rule, a minimum of 20 CPEs 
must be earned and posted and US$85 paid during each year of the 
three-year certification cycle before the anniversary date."
/
Se ho capito bene, mantenere la certificazione costerá 85 dollari l'anno 
anziche 85 dollari ogni tre. In piú non bisogna totalizzare 120 punti in 
tre anni, ma venti l'anno, per un totale di sessanta punti nel triennio. 
In pratica, e' molto piu facile mantenere la certificazione. Basta 
pagare, non importa se si é esposti per la metá ad attivitá di 
accrescimento della propria conoscenza o diffusione di cultura in ambito 
di sicurezza informatica.

Dear Valued Member,

Effective 30 April 2008, those holding the CISSP, SSCP and/or CAP certifications will be required to meet minimum annual
requirements for Continuing Professional Education credits (CPEs) and Annual Maintenance Fees (AMFs). Meeting these minimum annual
requirements will be required of any (ISC)2 certificate holder who is certified or recertified on or after 30 April 2008. Currently,
to maintain your certification, you are required to meet AMF and CPE requirements by the end of your three-year certification cycle.


The (ISC)2 board of directors and management made these changes to:

* Support your professional development and competence throughout your certification cycle;
* Assist you in meeting your recertification requirements by setting annual milestones;
* To assure your value to your employer and clients by demonstrating your ongoing commitment to your professional development and
expanding proficiency in a field that is constantly changing;
* Assure employers that their (ISC)2-certified employees are receiving timely professional education;
* Prevent any devaluation, perceived or otherwise, of the (ISC)2 credentials, which distinguish our certificate holders and command
global respect;
* With free live educational events around the world and online seminars, (ISC)2 has made it even easier for you to obtain your
CPEs. For more information on these events, please visit www.isc2.org/events.


Following are details on the annual CPE requirements for each credential:

CISSP - CISSPs must earn and submit a total of 120 CPEs by the end of their three-year certification cycle. With the new changes, a
minimum of 20 CPEs must be earned and posted and the US$85 AMF paid during each year of the three-year certification cycle before
the anniversary date. For CISSPs who hold one or more concentrations, CPEs submitted for the CISSP concentration(s) will be counted
toward the annual minimum CPEs required for the CISSP.

SSCP - SSCPs must earn and submit a total of 60 CPEs by the end of their three-year certification cycle. Under the new requirements,
a minimum of 10 CPEs must be posted and the US$65 AMF paid during each year of the three-year certification cycle before the
anniversary date.

CAP - CAPs must earn and submit a total of 60 CPEs by the end of the three-year certification cycle. Under the new rules, a minimum
of 10 CPEs must be posted and US$65 paid during each year of the three-year certification cycle before the anniversary date. 

Upon submitting the required number of CPEs and paying the AMFs, (ISC)2 will send you a notice via email confirming you've met the
minimum annual requirements and are on track for recertification.  You will receive a renewal package upon meeting your three-year
recertification requirements. 

Although you may earn more than the minimum CPEs required for credential maintenance, you are still required to earn and submit the
minimum annual number during each year of your certification cycle to maintain your certification in "good standing." Other
requirements to remain in "good standing" include paying AMFs and abiding by the (ISC)2 Code of Ethics.


Rights afforded to (ISC)2 members in "good standing" include:

* Use of credential designation on business cards, signature blocks, and letterhead
* Use of the credential logo
* Wearing of the credential lapel pin
* Verification of credentials and inclusion in the Member Directory
* Invitations to meetings, networking receptions and other (ISC)2-sponsored events
* Access to proprietary research, surveys and other career support tools
* Voting for bylaws and in Board of Director elections
* Participation in online forums and other networking groups


If you fail to meet the minimum annual CPE and AMF requirements for your certification, your credential will be suspended.
Suspension is the temporary loss of right of membership and can only be lifted when the minimum CPE and AMF requirements are met.

Once your certification has been suspended, your "good standing" membership rights described above will be immediately revoked. 

However, members who have been suspended will still be able make AMF payments and submit CPEs via their account on the member
Website. You will have a grace period of 90 days to bring your CPE credits and AMFs up to date.

Following the third consecutive suspension at the end of your three-year certification cycle, you will be decertified by (ISC)2. The
member being decertified will receive a decertification notice via email.

We hope these changes will be helpful to you in the maintenance of your credentials. We will be providing additional information as
we get closer to 30 April 2008. Should you have any questions in the meantime, please refer to the FAQ
[https://www.isc2.org/cgi-bin/content.cgi?page=11289] or send an email to newrequirements@xxxxxxxxx 

Because our members are spread around the globe, we rely heavily on email communications to provide you with important information.
