ISC2 currently uses a 90-CPE three-year maintenance total for CCSP, with activity eligibility and reporting governed by the current ISC2 CPE policy.

Use the correct credential total and Group A minimum

ISC2 totals differ by credential. CISSP, CCSP/CSSLP, SSCP/CGRC and CC do not all use the same total or Group A/B mix, so select the exact credential before calculating a gap.

CPEs are one part of active status

ISC2 maintenance also includes the annual maintenance fee. Keep the CPE requirement, fee status, cycle dates and grace-period timing as separate checks.

Save activity evidence and domain relevance

For Group A activities, retain enough detail to show how the activity relates to certification domains. A local total is useful for planning but the ISC2 portal remains the certification record.
