CCT 336 - Cyber Niche's and Submitting CPEs
Episode 336
Monday, 30 March, 2026
Send us Fan MailPassing the CISSP is a huge win, but the part that quietly ends careers is what comes after: keeping the certification active. I walk you through how to submit ISC2 CPEs in a way that is accurate, defensible, and easy to repeat, so you never wake up to a renewal deadline panic. We talk real numbers too: 120 CPE credits per three-year cycle, a minimum of 40 each year, and the $125 annual maintenance fee that can sneak up on you if you are not watching your dashboard.Before we get into the portal clicks, I bring up an idea that matters for every cybersecurity professional: the hidden cost of cybersecurity specialisation. Specialising can raise your income and sharpen your value, but without broad context you can lose the big picture, mis-prioritise risk, over-rely on tools, and slow down detection and response. The goal is to build depth while staying fluent across the CISSP domains and the business realities those domains protect.Then we go step by step through CPE submission: choosing the right category (education, contributions, professional development, or unique work experience), understanding Group A vs Group B, selecting relevant CISSP domain areas, converting time into credit hours, and attaching supporting documentation that holds up during an ISC2 audit. I also share the most common mistakes that waste time, including waiting until the last minute, entering hours incorrectly, miscategorising activities, and failing to save proof for at least 12 months beyond your certification expiration date.If you want more practical CISSP training and a smoother CPE routine, subscribe, share this with a friend who is newly certified, and leave a review so more people can find the show.Gain exclusive access to 360 FREE CISSP Practice Questions at FreeCISSPQuestions.com and have them delivered directly to your inbox!
