Administered by Information Systems Audit and Control Association (ISACA), the CISM certification focuses on the management of information security, rather than specific platforms, or general or technical knowledge.
CISM certification ensures that information security professionals, and specifically information security program managers, have the experience and knowledge necessary to provide effective management and consulting services. CISM defines the core competencies and international performance standards that those who have information security responsibilities are expected to master. Through 31 December 2003, ISACA is offering a CISM grandfathering opportunity, which allows information security managers and those who have information security management responsibilities to apply for CISM certification without taking the exam. Individuals with information security related credentials (e.g., CISA and CISSP) qualify for experience waivers.
