## About

Leading provider of vendor-neutral IT certifications and career development resources

## Activity summary

Blocked in Syria. The team contacted CompTIA in February 2026, and it replied that its compliance policy still does not allow access from Syria, though the request was escalated for review.

## Community reports

- 2026-02-18 — Investigated. Community re-testing over a DSL connection confirmed the site returns a Cloudflare error page, an explicit country-level block still in place despite the company's response.
- 2026-02-16 — Company Responded. CompTIA's support team acknowledged the sanctions-change context but said its access controls follow internal compliance policy, which still does not permit Syrian access; the request was escalated to legal and compliance.
- 2026-02-15 — Contacted Company. A community volunteer contacted CompTIA support directly, citing the OFAC sanctions changes and asking the company to review its Syria restriction.

## Context

These are geo-restrictions the companies applied themselves, not filtering by Syrian ISPs and not a legal requirement. US and EU sanctions on Syria were lifted in 2025. See https://unblocksyria.com/llms.txt for the regulatory summary and https://unblocksyria.com/en/about for citations to the specific orders and regulations.
