The '''Computing Technology Industry Association''', more commonly known as '''CompTIA''', is an American non-profit [[Industry trade group|trade association]] that issues [[professional certification]]s for the [[information technology]] (IT) industry. It is considered one of the IT industry's top trade associations.<ref>{{Cite web| url=http://sync-magazine.com/2015/comptia/| title=CompTIA's Update Ready to Install| author=Peter Fabris| publisher=Sync Magazine| date=2021-12-11}}</ref>
Based in [[Downers Grove, Illinois]], CompTIA issues vendor-neutral professional certifications in over 120 countries. The organization releases industry studies to track industry trends and changes. Over 2.2 million people have earned CompTIA certifications since the association was established.<ref name="naper">{{cite web| url=http://napervillemagazine.com/2016/08/ceo-profile-todd-thibodeaux/| title=CEO Profile – Todd Thibodeaux| author=Mark Zonca| date=August 2016| publisher=Naperville Magazine| access-date=2017-04-08| archive-date=2020-02-05| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200205053714/http://napervillemagazine.com/2016/08/ceo-profile-todd-thibodeaux/| url-status=dead}}</ref>
==History==
CompTIA was created in 1982 as the [[Association of Better Computer Dealers]] (ABCD).<ref name=dummies>{{cite book| title=Getting a Networking Job For Dummies| author=Peter H. Gregory, Bill Hughes| publisher=John Wiley & Sons| date=April 24, 2015}}</ref> ABCD later changed its name to the Computing Technology Industry Association.{{cn|date=August 2023}}
In 2010, CompTIA moved its headquarters into a new office space in a facility in Downers Grove, Illinois.<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.architectmagazine.com/project-gallery/comptia-the-computing-technology-industry-association-inc| title=CompTIA: The Computing Technology Industry Association Inc.| date=April 27, 2012| publisher=The Journal of American Institute of Architects}}</ref>
The CompTIA portal moved to a hybrid version of the open-access model in April 2014 with exclusive content for dues-paying members.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://associationsnow.com/2014/04/comptia-opts-new-open-access-membership-model/|title=CompTIA Opts for New Open-Access Membership Model: Associations Now|website=associationsnow.com|access-date=2017-01-04|date=2014-04-07}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=http://searchitchannel.techtarget.com/news/2240217375/CompTIA-adds-free-open-access-option-to-membership-structure|title=CompTIA adds free open-access option to membership structure|newspaper=SearchITChannel|language=en-US|access-date=2017-01-04|archive-date=2017-05-10|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170510123138/http://searchitchannel.techtarget.com/news/2240217375/CompTIA-adds-free-open-access-option-to-membership-structure|url-status=dead}}</ref> The move expanded the organization's reach to engage a broader, more diverse set of members, and within a year, CompTIA's membership grew from 2,050 members to more than 50,000 in 2015.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.asaecenter.org/resources/articles/an_plus/2015/october/from-2000-to-50000-lessons-learned-from-comptias-openaccess-membership-model|title=From 2,000 to 50,000: Lessons Learned From CompTIA's Open-Access Membership Model|newspaper=ASAE|access-date=2017-01-04}}</ref> By the close of 2016, the organization boasted more than 100,000 members worldwide.{{Citation needed|date=January 2023}}

==Trustmarks==
CompTIA offers [[Trustmark (commerce)|trustmarks]] to businesses to certify their security capabilities and credentials.
The CompTIA Security Trustmark+ is based on the [[National Institute of Standards and Technology|NIST]] Cybersecurity Framework and demonstrates compliance with key industry regulations such as [[Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard|PCI-DSS]], [[SSAE 16|SSAE-16]], [[Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act|HIPAA]], and others reliant on the NIST Framework. It is based on a third-party assessment of security policies, procedures and operations.
CompTIA offered additional trustmarks, a Managed Services Trustmark and Managed Print Trustmark, that were retired on Sept. 30, 2021.<ref>{{cite web| url=https://connect.comptia.org/membership/corporate/comptia-trustmarks| title=CompTIA Trustmarks| author=CompTIA| date=2021| publisher=CompTIA}}</ref>
==Certifications==
CompTIA administers its vendor-neutral certification [[exam]]s through [[Pearson Education|Pearson VUE]] testing centers. (Note: For A+ up through CASP+ one can renew or extend their certification by satisfying in these cases 20 to 75 CEUs a.k.a. "Continuing Education Units,"  over the three-year period.)<ref>{{cite web

==Certification expiration==
Previously, CompTIA marketed its flagship A+, Network+, and Security+ certifications as being valid for a lifetime. In January 2011, CompTIA changed the status of these certifications so that they would expire every three years. Under this proposal, certified individuals would have to re-certify for the exams or pay a yearly maintenance fee for a CEU (Continuing Education Units) system. CompTIA modified the guidelines so that only certificates received after January 1, 2011, would need to be renewed every three years and would require documented continuing education hours.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2010/01/comptia-backs-down-past-certs-remain-valid-for-life.ars |title=CompTIA backs down; past certs remain valid for life |first=Nate |last=Anderson |date=January 26, 2010 |publisher=[[Ars Technica]] |access-date=January 26, 2010}}</ref> The un-expirable certificates, issued before 2011, are officially called Good-for-Life, and getting a more updated (and expirable) certification does not replace the Good-for-Life one – the professional can have both.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://help.comptia.org/hc/en-us/articles/115005364303-Good-for-Life-Certifications?tracking=help/continuing-education/good-for-life|title=Good-for-Life Certifications}}</ref>
