Just got the email and my audit is finally over! ZOMG icon_cheers.gif I'm now a CISSP!!!!

Passed: March 9
Sent in Endorsement Info via email: March 11
(ISC)2 Acknowledge of documents: March 11
Selected for audit: March 26
Sent in Audit Info via email: March 26
(ISC)2 Acknowledge of documents: March 27
Email stating I'm CISSP: April 12
TOTAL BUSINESS DAYS WAITING/TORTURE: 25

I'm glad I listened to TBRAYS and gave (ISC)2 a call. (ISC)2 couldn't get ahold of one of my previous supervisors, and that was holding up my status, so I called him first to give him a heads up and they contacted him immediately.

Time to update the resume! icon_cool.gif

    I hope I dont get hit with an audit. Even though all of my experience at my current employer meets the requirements, the old company I worked for was bought out and chopped up and sold for pieces and I have no idea how to get ahold of my previous manager.

    You don't have your previous manager personal cell #?

    Heck no. I had no reason to. At the time I was young and it was my first IT job. The position was eliminated and that was that. And the company I worked for was bought by private equity and chopped up.

    I suggest you attempt to find them via LinkedIn or Facebook just in case you get audited.

    They verified that I had at least 48 months of experience since I have my Security+. Not really sure if this answered your question......

    Then I should be fine as I have 5 years in my current security role and Security+. I'll make sure to write down phone numbers for my current managers.
