Claude Session Summary — CISSP CPE Tracker (2026-07-04)
Auto-captured from a Claude Code session (cwd:
C:\Users\Benjamin Eichhorn\Desktop\WIP). Review, then file or delete.
Session Purpose
Improve the single-file CISSP CPE tracker so every logged activity is copy-paste-ready for the ISC2 CPE submission portal, and extend it to track annual required (compliance) training with certificates of completion.
Decisions Made
| Decision | Rationale |
|---|---|
| Make CPE fields match ISC2 portal terms in cut-and-paste order | Ben's workflow is paste-info → tracker updates → paste into ISC2 |
| Summaries must be prose, no bullet points | ISC2 portal explicitly forbids bullets in the summary field |
| Required-training rows go yellow at 3 months to due, red at 1 month | Compliance visibility to avoid lapses |
| Track annual required training separately, but allow overlap with CPEs | Ben applies required courses to CISSP CPEs where possible |
| Supporting doc for CPEs is (almost) always the Certificate of Completion | Saved to the CISSP folder per course |
| Only track compliance/CPE-relevant training | Non-CPE items (e.g. SEC2401 Trafficking in Persons) don't need CPE tracking |
| Add audit-risk notifications | Warn Ben of entries likely to trigger an ISC2 audit so he can avoid them |
Key Facts Established
- Annual fees (ISC2 AMF) are tracked in the tool; Ben requests company reimbursement for them.
- Non-course CPE sources include cybersecurity podcasts (Darknet Diaries) and books (Sandworm by Andy Greenberg — finished 26 May 2026, 12-hr audiobook at 1.75× speed).
- Courses logged this session: Insider Threat Awareness (NGA), Trafficking in Persons (cert in "Trafic in People 06242026"), Privacy Awareness Training — all UNCLASSIFIED, ~1 hr each.
- Transcript imported from ISC2 (CPETranscriptPDF.pdf).
Action Items
- Continue adding completed required-training courses as certs land in the folder
Files / Artifacts Created
- Updated CISSP CPE tracker HTML (cycle-aware CPE + required-training compliance + fees tabs)
