How be an eligible endorser for newly ISC2 members
Here's a breakdown of the requirements for someone to be an eligible endorser: - Active (ISC)² Certification: The endorser must hold an active (ISC)² certification, which in your case is the CISSP. - Member in Good Standing: This means the endorser must be current with their Annual Maintenance Fees (AMFs) and Continuing Professional Education (CPE) credits, and they must be adhering to the (ISC)² Code of Ethics. There's no indication that a member endorsed in Q2 2024 wouldn't be in good standing by April 2025, assuming they've met their obligations. - Ability to Attest to Your Experience: The endorser should be able to attest to the truthfulness of your professional experience to the best of their knowledge. Ideally, they should know you professionally or be familiar with your work history in the cybersecurity field. - No Suspension or Revocation: The endorser's certification should not be suspended or revoked by (ISC)². Key Considerations: - (ISC)² Definition of "Good Standing": While generally assumed if fees and CPEs are current and the code of ethics is followed, (ISC)² has the final say on what constitutes "good standing." - The Endorser's Comfort Level: Even if technically eligible, a CISSP member might decline to endorse you if they are not familiar with your professional experience or are uncomfortable vouching for you for any reason. - Your Endorsement Application: Ensure your endorsement application is accurate and provides sufficient detail about your work experience for the endorser to review.
