Update on relief for those affected by erroneous exam notifications
2 December, 2010 - 10:30 AM
I am pleased to report that we will be, upon candidates' completion of the certification process, waiving Annual Maintenance Fees (AMFs) for one year for those who received inaccurate fail notices in October. We will also expedite upon request,the processing of endorsements and experience verifications received from affected candidates.
Also, I want to reassure those affected candidates wishing to become compliant with U.S. Department of Defense Mandate 8570.1 that we are working closely with the DoD to minimize the impact of the delay the inaccurate notices on certification candidates subject to the Mandate and have notified DIAP of our error.
Further, it has come to our attention that candidates who are unable to earn an (ISC)² certification by December 31, 2010 will be able to continue their work, albeit with some conditions. The manual states that “Until certification is attained, individuals in IA [information assurance] positions not meeting certification requirements may perform those duties under the direct supervision of an appropriately certified individual until certification is attained unless the certification requirement has been waived due to severe operational or personnel constraints.” In some cases, additional time may be allowed for the candidates to retest for the exam. For further details, please contact your supervisor and review the applicable manual.
Thank you for your continued patience and understanding.
