It should answer your questions and explain everything.

I passed the CCSA exam. What are the next steps to maintain an Active certification status?

Option 1 - Proceed to the CCSE to continue the certification path. This will not extend the CCSA.

Option 2 - Retake and pass the CCSA exam for another two-year certification.

Pass an Infinity Specialist Accreditation (ISA) to extend a valid Core certification for 1-year. (Does not apply to the CCSA certification)
The ISA must be achieved after a Core certification to qualify for the extension.
A CCSE may be extended one time. A second ISA will award the Accreditation and the CCSM Certification! (The CCSE must be current, not expired)
A CCSM may be extended one time. A second ISA will award the Accreditation and the CCSM Elite Certification! (The CCSM must be current, not expired)
The CCSA or the CCSE exam may be retaken as a means to recertify.
