Track the category structure

The current ISC2 policy lists 45 total CPEs for this credential, including 45 Group A credits and the balance from Group A or B.

CPEs and fees both matter

ISC2 states that certification maintenance requires the CPE requirement and the annual maintenance fee to remain in good standing.

Grace period and suspension

The current policy allows CPEs to be earned and submitted no later than 90 days after the certification expiration date. Failing to satisfy maintenance after that period can move the certification to suspended status.
