⏰ LAST DAY TO VOTE TODAY: The ISC2 Board of Directors Election will close October 25 at 5:00 p.m. ET. All ISC2 Members are highly encouraged to cast their vote for the nominees. ⭐ It was a great privilege for me to be a part of the 10 member Global ISC2 #NominationCommittee alongside very esteemed current Board of Directors and volunteers to select nominees for 2023-24 ISC2 #BoardofDirectors. The selection process in June-July was extremely intense with several rounds of reviews and discussions to assess across tens of parameters. We believe to have arrived at the most amazing candidates to help grow ISC2 in it's all-round mission and vision, to continue to provide great value to ISC2 members globally by setting direction via various committees and taskforces, alongside numerous other duties. ISC2 members can sign in to their member account and visit their dashboard to vote (link in comments).

An interview video (Japanese version) of ISC2 members has also been released. I hope this will be helpful to those considering taking the CISSP or CCSP exam. #ISC2 #CISSP #CCSP

It's absolutely safe for organizations to keep going and adopt EPCIS 1.2. Along with many other resources, tools for converting EPCIS 1.2 to EPCIS 2.0 events and vice-versa has been made #GS1. As a matter of fact, the GS1 US R1.3 Guidance for DSCSA may also be regarded to be fully compatible with EPCIS 2.0, the Guideline and EPCIS are just two sides of the same coin. Among many other improvements in EPCIS 2.0, huge efforts have been made to support #JSON, #linkeddata, #semanticweb, #RESTful interfaces, #sensors and #iot data for #digitaltwins. It's utterly important to make everyone understand, that this doesn't mean EPCIS 1.2 is a dead end! Everyone who has properly adopted EPCIS 1.2 will be able to transition to EPCIS 2.0, whenever it makes sense for them.

CPE - Year in review. I've posted a summary of the 2023 continuing professional development activities coordinated by or partnering with ISC2 East Bay Chapter. For ISC2 members, we post those hours to ISC2.org. For all other professional organizations, it is the attendee's responsibility to self-report. We keep attendee records. Your notification from our GoToWebinar system is your evidence of attendance. If you are struggling to recall everything you have to report, I've summarized it here. https://lnkd.in/gcNAuSnP

The time is finally here! Starting in October of 2023, GSA began to retire the dated SIP program. This has been a slow roll out process but it is worth the wait. The new FCP offers many benefits to vendors, and a seamless process from mod creation to updates being live on Advantage. Have you made the move yet? What are your thoughts? #GSA #governmentsales #federalsales #gsasales

The expertise of Certified CMMC Professionals (CCP) can significantly benefit organizations operating in defense supply chains and handling sensitive government information. For Ingalls, the addition of a CCP means the Government Programs team can provide clients with more experienced and trained SMEs that are qualified to not only consult on CMMC but assess the CMMC practices. Read our blog post to learn the benefits of leveraging the expertise of a CCP for your organization. https://bit.ly/44dCXG8 #CMMC #CCP #RPO

Sooo, I passed the #CISSP exam... Almost an entire month ago! The endorsement packet instructions could've been more explicit, but I got it together and submitted it nearly 3 weeks ago. Not only that but take a look at the test center printout below. It says the test results take 2-5 business days to get transmitted to ISC2, which is on par with snail mail. (Legit question: Are the results sent via USPS with standard postage?) What a slow process! There's certainly room for growth. What are other people's experiences with ISC2 regarding getting credentials conferred? I contacted their member support, but they couldn't tell me if anything had been done or what progress had been made. Is this due to secrecy or a lack of visibility? The endorsement status page hasn't been updated since I submitted the endorsement packet, so I can't tell if I'm near or far from the finish line or what still needs to be done. When I get a package shipped through FedEx or UPS, I get delivery updates and statuses directly to my phone. I realize this isn't a delivery service, but there has to be some middle ground between a black box and detailed step-by-step insights. Now that I passed the exam, my challenge to ISC2 is to find a way to streamline your processes. Anyway, I'm eager for the official endorsement so I can add this new title to my growing list of post-nominal credentials.
