Q: Do I have to be a member of ISC2 in order to join an ISC2 Chapter?
A: You must be an ISC2 member to start a chapter. However, once the chartering chapter has received its charter and becomes an official chapter of ISC2, then non-ISC2 certified professionals can join an ISC2 Chapter. Check with the local chapter to confirm.
Q: If I’m a member of ISC2, am I automatically a member of my local chapter?
A: No. ISC2 members are not required to join an ISC2 Chapter. If you are interested in joining a chapter, then you will need to contact the local chapter for details. Visit the ISC2 Chapter Directory for contact information.
Q: If I belong to a chapter does that mean I am a member of ISC2?
A: No. All ISC2 members must pass one of the ISC2 credential exams and complete the endorsement process to become a member. Once an individual is a member of ISC2, they must maintain their certification in order to remain in good-standing.
Q: What is the difference between an ISC2 member and an ISC2 Chapter member?
A: An ISC2 member has taken and passed one of the ISC2 credential exams and has completed the endorsement process. Only professionals who hold an ISC2 credential are a member of ISC2. ISC2 Chapter members consist of both ISC2 credential holders and those who do not have an ISC2 credential.
Q: What is the membership fee for an ISC2 Chapter?
A: Each chapter establishes and imposes chapter dues for its members. Dues are not collected by ISC2.
