Documentation
What is CPEBuddy?
CPEBuddy transforms YouTube security video content into structured, professional CPE (Continuing Professional Education) documentation tailored for security professionals maintaining certifications like CISSP, CISM, and CEH.
Leveraging advanced AI processing, CPEBuddy automatically extracts relevant security concepts, maps them to CISSP domains, generates learning objectives, and creates comprehensive documentation suitable for audit submission. Track your professional development, maintain accurate records, and streamline your CPE credit reporting process.
Understanding CPE Credits
What are CPE Credits?
Continuing Professional Education (CPE) credits demonstrate your ongoing commitment to professional development and staying current in the cybersecurity field. Certification bodies require documented learning activities to maintain your credentials.
Credit Requirements
ISC2 (CISSP): 120 CPE credits every 3 years (minimum 40 per year).
ISACA (CISM): 120 CPE credits every 3 years (minimum 20 per year).
EC-Council (CEH): 120 credits every 3 years.
Documentation Standards
Certification bodies require evidence of learning including: activity description, dates, duration, learning objectives, and outcomes. CPEBuddy generates documentation that meets these standards, making audit submission straightforward.
Earning Credits
Activities include: attending conferences, completing training courses, reading security publications, watching educational videos, and more. Generally, 1 hour of structured learning equals 1 CPE credit.

Frequently Asked Questions
CPE (Continuing Professional Education) credits are required to maintain professional certifications like CISSP, CISM, CEH, and others. ISC2 requires 120 CPE credits every 3 years, with a minimum of 40 credits per year. CPEBuddy helps you track these credits by documenting your learning activities.
CPE credits are typically earned based on the duration and quality of the learning activity. As a general guideline, 1 CPE credit equals 1 hour of structured learning. CPEBuddy generates documentation that you can submit for credit claiming, but the final credit count is determined by your certification body.
No, CPEBuddy is an independent tool that helps you generate documentation for your CPE credits. We are not affiliated with ISC2, ISACA, or any certification body. The generated documentation follows best practices for CPE documentation, but acceptance of credits is at the discretion of your certification body.
CPEBuddy works with security-focused YouTube videos that have been processed by our transcript infrastructure. The platform automatically extracts relevant security content, maps it to CISSP domains, and generates appropriate documentation. Not all videos will yield CPE-worthy content.
Navigate to your portfolio, select a completed CPE entry, and click the "Export" button. You can download HTML, PDF, Markdown, or JSON documentation formatted for submission to certification bodies, including learning objectives, domain mapping, and self-assessment questions.
Each CPE document includes: video title and source, learning objectives, detailed content summary mapped to CISSP domains, key concepts covered, self-assessment questions, and a completion timestamp. This provides comprehensive evidence of your learning activity.
Yes, your portfolio and CPE documentation are private to your account. We use industry-standard security practices to protect your data. Your learning activities are only visible to you and are not shared with third parties.
Currently, CPEBuddy focuses on CISSP domain mapping. However, the generated documentation can be used for other certifications (CISM, CEH, etc.) that accept similar learning activities. We plan to add support for additional certification frameworks in future updates.
