Auditied by the (ISC)2

JDMurray

Not audited for a certification, but for submitting CPEs.

I just submitted my very first two CPEs for my new CISSP certification and promptly received an email from auditor@isc2.org indicating that my CPE submission was being audited, and that I needed to send documented proof of its validity. I scanned my CPE receipt to a PDF file and emailed it in with an explanation of what it was. I should hear back about it in 2-3 weeks.

I had previously submitted over 80 CPEs for my SSCP cert and never received an audit, so this may be a new thing. The audit email appears to be randomly and automatically generated. I can't see how submitting two CPEs for a monthly ISSA meeting that I have been attending for the past three years could be regarded as suspicious.

Anyway, this is a heads-up to you (ISC)2 cert holders that any CPEs you submit on the (ISC)2 Web site could result in you getting the same audit, so always collect some evidence of your CPEs that can be faxed or emailed to the (ISC)2 in case this happens to you.

Here's the CPE audit email that I received:

(ISC)2 randomly audits and verifies a certain number of Continuing Professional Education (CPE) credits. The audit policy can be found in the Guidelines for Submitting Continuing Professional Education Credits, section: CPE Record-Keeping and Audits. The purpose of this letter is to inform you that the CPE submission below has been selected for audit and verification.


CPE Type: Professional Association Chapter Meetings

Domain: CISSP - Multiple Domains (Group A)


Please understand that once a CPE has been selected for audit, it cannot be removed or deleted. The CPE selected for audit will either "pass" or "fail" the audit process.


It is important that you complete the CPE audit process. Accordingly, please forward documentation in support of numbers one or two
below.


1. Evidence of the CPE Credit You Submitted.


Evidence of CPE credits earned may be in the form of course transcripts, awarded diplomas, certificates or receipts of attendance, copies of official meeting minutes or rosters (that include attendees names), or documentation of registration materials.


2. A Description of the CPE Activity


If the CPE activity has no substantial documentation, please provide a description of the CPE activity, how it relates to your duties, any instructor or supervisor names and what part they played in your submittal. This can be a brief description that accurately reflects the scope and nature of the CPE activity.


You may submit your documentation via email, postal mail or fax. Please send your name, ID number and the 8 digit number included in the subject line of this email along with your documentation to:

Once your documentation has been received by the auditor, please allow 2 - 3 weeks turnaround time for the processing of your CPE audit. You will receive a response from the auditor when your audit is complete or if there is additional information needed.


It is not necessary to call or email us to confirm that your documentation has arrived prior to that time, as this will slow down the process. Please do not send multiple faxes or emails of your documents unless requested by (ISC)2 Services.


To complete the audit, you must submit the documentation requested above within 90 days. If we have not received your response within 90 days, the audit will be considered incomplete and you will not receive credit for the CPE activity referenced above.


If you have any questions about the CPE audit process, please email membersupport@isc2.org or call
