An endorsement form for this purpose must be completed and signed by an (ISC)2 certified professional who is an active member, and who can attest to your professional experience. You are required to become certified within nine months of the date of your exam.

If you do not become certified or an Associate of (ISC)2 within 9 months of the date of your exam, you will be required to retake the exam in order to become certified. It is possible for (ISC)2 to endorse you if you cannot find a certified individual to act as one.
