SAML error when trying to pay Maintenance Fee

[veryriskyrisk]

Hey!

I've sent an email to membersupport@isc2.org on Tuesday but nobody responded, not even acknowledgment from automated ticketing system or so.

Any hints on resolving this? I get assertion error when trying to pay membership fee with cc.

Any hints welcome,

mat

Yeah, I've been checking periodically because I need to pay my initial fee and I've had the same problem as you OP.

Thank you Kaity, support representative contacted me and I was able to pay the fee.

If anyone else has this issue, please feel free to call Member Support directly to pay. They can bypass the error.

I registered a account on “salesforce”.

During the registration process, enter some information that I am interested in.

After a few days, I received a customer service call, and asking my needs.

Just Mail a Check for AMF!

@CraginS: I am afraid this solution does not work for me. CISSP is an international certificate, and there needs to be a fully functional online platform to enable folks from different parts of the world apply for membership with ease. For instance am situated in India, and it is unfair for (ISC)2 to further expect me to wait on an international posting platform turn around to avail my certification, after having cleared the process including the waitout period. Hope am able to appeal to your empathy here. Atleast, (ISC)2 can facilitate the certificate upfront keeping the membership postponed to a timeline when it has a fully functional system available, to relieve the current situation we all are facing 😞

Naveen,

I fully understand, the challenge. (ISC)2 does have two offices outside of USA. According to the Contact page at

https://www.isc2.org/Contact-Us#accordion-ec0be5accd8a4a36a5dbbcd3adb5307b

You can get member support from  the offices at

@amandavanceISC2   Can you please confirm that Naveen can send a check or an International Money Order to the Hong Dong Office to pay the AMF?

[navzen2000]

Thanks Dr. Cragin for understanding. As I indicated earlier, I would not like to get involved with the hassle of sending an international money order, and complicate things further. I would have given it a thought had I belonged to the States or any other country where (ISC)2 has an office. I definitely did not sign up for this kind of experience when I fully paid the certification fees and cleared the same.
I understand that (ISC)2 is a reputed international organization, but my experience off late makes me ask certain questions with respect to the current service level offered. No doubt, the community has been very kind and responsive to all our queries. My questions to (ISC)2 are enumerated as follows:-

1. What steps have been taken to alleviate the current payment issue, is there an alternative plan for the fix and any expected timeline to resolve it?
2. This is not the first time folks are facing this kind of issue, as there are old threads that talk about similar issue. Is there a no mechanism/process to audit the service level of (ISC)2? What is the point of putting a member support in place when there is no one to acknowledge your query.
3. When it is already known that payment system is broken in production, why it cannot be restored to a previous model/state where presumably things were working as expected? Hope (ISC)2 understands that issuing certificates to qualifying members is paramount to one's interest, all the effort for studying, appearing for an exam, endorsement etc. are done with keeping this goal in mind.

I do not intend to sound harsh here but this is something that does not put up a smile on our faces either.

Regards,
Naveen
