Maintaining your CISSP: CPE credits and annual maintenance
Earning the CISSP starts a maintenance cycle: 120 Continuing Professional Education credits over three years plus an Annual Maintenance Fee.
Earning CPEs
CPEs come from training courses, webinars, publishing, teaching, attending security conferences, self-study and volunteering. One hour of qualifying activity generally equals one CPE.
Practical habits
Log CPEs as you earn them rather than in an end-of-cycle scramble, and keep certificates: ISC2 audits a sample of members every year.
PassYour is an independent study aid. CISSP is a certification mark of ISC2.
