Complaints

The purpose of this process is to detail the steps required for ISACA’s CMMI Complaints process and the specific actions required to be followed when a member of the CMMI Community submits a complaint regarding alleged misconduct or a violation of the Code of Professional Conduct.

Eligibility Criteria

  • Complainant matter relates to a violation of ISACA's CMMI method, policy, or ethical standards.
  • The matter is a reasonable concern and is not frivolous or trivial.
  • The information provided is sufficient and reliable enough to constitute further investigation.
  • Additionally, ISACA may suspend (as applicable) a case if the matter is being pursued as a subject of civil or criminal litigation or other proceedings substantially related to the complaint before a court, a regulatory agency, or other governmental body.
