A closer look

Certified Information Security Manager (CISM)

Learning focus
Information security management
Where you could apply it
CISM makes most sense alongside management responsibilities you can discuss: risk decisions, programmes, priorities and reporting. Check the separate experience and certification application requirements before treating an exam pass as the finished credential.
Before you start
ISACA requires five or more years of information security management work experience across at least three of the four CISM domains, verified by a supervisor or manager. ISACA also charges a one-off certification application fee, stated on its own page. The exam must have been passed within the previous five years.

Learning and role connections are TechWaymark guidance. The official syllabus defines exam coverage.
