We are receiving questions about the following topics and have provided your answers! Please make sure you do not choose to opt out of our communications. If you do, several of these processes will not work, as we cannot send you email when you have asked us not to.
Instructions for obtaining CPE certificate:
After attending class, you will receive an email that is titled Feedback and CPE for (class name). The Feedback Survey requires answers for three or four questions. When done, hit submit. Very quickly after hitting submit, each individual will receive a second email that has a link for downloading their CPE Certificate. It will download as “badgexxxxxxxx” where the “x’s” are random characters, but represent the unique identifier assigned to each registrant. This file will appear in the “Recently Downloaded” file, and it will also be seen at the bottom left of the monitor. Click on it and save with Name and Class Info to a Folder to retain the certificates. SC Midlands ISACA Chapter 54 does not report your CPEs to ISACA International – this is each member’s responsibility.
Class Materials:
To obtain any class materials, use your class confirmation number and the weblink for the event to reenter the class website. When you are on the Summary Page, there are several Tabs running across the top of the page – one will be “Class Material.” Click on the tab, and download, save and print if you would like.
Class Registration, Confirmation Numbers and Class Invoice:
Payment is now due at the time of registration by Credit, Debit or E-Checks. We have eliminated the option for Mail in Payments for individuals. Once you are registered, you will be able to print an Invoice. If you do not choose to do that at the time of registration, but find you need this Invoice later, use the confirmation email that you received after registering which contains your Confirmation Number and a link to the Class website. Re-enter the class website by using the Class Link and enter your Confirmation Number. Under the Tab “My Registration, you will then see a tab “Invoice.” If you need reimbursement, you can choose to print out your invoice for submittal to your organization’s Accounts Payable Department.
Corporate Payment:
Organizations may choose to register their groups of employees to come to our events. Instead of registering one by one, do this as a group registration which will produce one confirmation number for your Accounts Payable to process the payment. After inputting all the names and information of the individuals to attend, select Corporate Payment as the process to use for payment. A confirmation notice will appear and produce the Confirmation Number and a link to the class event. The Confirmation number and the Class link is all Accounts Payable will need to go back into the event and make payment by Credit or E-Check. Special permission from the Chapter President (president@scisaca.org) is needed for a mail-in check. Personal mail-in checks or cash are no longer accepted. Each employee registered will receive an email confirmation notice and be able to enter the class website to obtain class materials and their CPE certificate. We are hoping this process makes it easier for our large organizations to register and pay for their employees. It should fit in well with corporate policies that require pre-approval for training. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask!

Recently Released Research Deliverables:

Some of the projects that are out or available for free download for members on the ISACA website:
Some of the other materials launching include the COBIT 5 Poster to help promote COBIT and ISACA has also done a survey on Advanced Persistent Threat Awareness. In the study, it was learned that people still rely on Anti-Virus and firewalls alone so ISACA would like to bring awareness to people, to help them be more resilient and address AVG and use a more holistic approach. This is also for people who use mobile devices that need protection against threats.
For information on these publications http://www.isaca.org/Knowledge-Center/Research/Pages/Current-Projects.aspx.
Coming Attractions:
ISACA is creating an interactive tool that will help an individual complete a personalized cybersecurity career roadmap. You will learn about what jobs you are qualified for and define your developmental goals and aspirations. The CSX career roadmap will set you up for success.
Another upcoming guide is, Governance of Enterprise IT (GEIT). The purpose of using a GEIT system is to deliver value to stakeholders. Also, in the area of COBIT, are the enabler guide and the next COBIT 5 guide is Principles, Policies and Framework (PPF) coming out later in 2016.
In addition to white papers, ISACA is creating more tools. They are working on a Threat and Control Tools with the implementation guide and this is an online tool coming out the first quarter of this year.
Finally, ISACA will make the certification manuals in an e-book format while the hardcopy will still be available to purchase from the bookstore.
