Once you have been informed that you successfully passed the CISSP certification, there is one final step before you are actually awarded the CISSP certification. That final step is known as endorsement. Basically, this involves getting someone who is a CISSP, or other (ISC)² certification holder, in good standing and familiar with your work history to submit an endorsement form on your behalf. Once you pass the CISSP exam, you will receive an email with instructions. However, you can review the endorsement application process at www.isc2.org/Endorsement.

If you registered for CISSP, then you must complete endorsement within nine months of your exam. If you registered for Associate of (ISC)², then you have six years from your exam data to complete endorsement. Once (ISC)² accepts your endorsement, the certification process will be completed and you will be sent a welcome packet.

Once you have achieved your CISSP certification, you must now work toward maintaining the certification. You will need to earn 120 Continuing Professional Education (CPE) credits by your third-year anniversary. For details on earning and reporting CPEs, please consult the (ISC)² Continuing Professional Education (CPE) Handbook (www.isc2.org/-/media/ISC2/Certifications/CPE/CPE---Handbook.ashx) and the CPE Opportunities page (www.isc2.org/Membership/CPE-Opportunities). You will also be required to pay an annual maintenance fee (AMF) upon earning your certification and at each annual anniversary. For details on the AMF, please see the (ISC)² CPE Handbook and www.isc2.org/Policies-Procedures/Member-Policies.
