The mark of excellence for a professional
certification program is the value and recognition
it bestows on the individual who achieves
it. Since 1978, the Certified Information
Systems Auditor (CISA) program, sponsored
by ISACA®, has been the globally accepted
standard of achievement among information
systems (IS) audit, control and security professionals.
The technical skills and practices that CISA
promotes and evaluates are the building blocks
of success in the field. Possessing the CISA
designation demonstrates proficiency and is
the basis for measurement in the profession.
With a growing demand for professionals possessing
IS audit, control and security skills, CISA
has become a preferred certification program
by individuals and organizations around the
world. CISA certification signifies commitment
to serving an organization and the IS audit,
control and security industry with distinction.
In addition, it presents a number of professional
and personal benefits
Worldwide Recognition
Although certification may not be mandatory
for you at this time, a growing number of

such a program. CISA is recognized worldwide,
by all industries, as the preferred designation
for IS audit, control and security professionals.
More than 55,000 professionals have earned
the CISA since inception, so clearly many
people agree: earning the CISA is a good career

CISA® Self-Assessment Earning the CISA designation distinguishes you as a qualified IS audit professional. Whether you wish to
enhance your on-the-job performance or secure a promotion or new position, becoming a CISA will set you apart from your colleagues and provide you with a
competitive advantage.
ISACA has prepared the CISA Self-assessment to help CISA exam candidates assess their knowledge of the CISA job practice areas and determine in which areas
they may have strengths and weaknesses. This self-assessment contains 50 sample items covering the appropriate proportion of subject matter to match the
CISA exam blueprint. The items are not actual CISA exam items, but are representative of items that have appeared on the exam. Note that this self-assessment
is not a substitute for the actual exam, nor does the result of the self-assessment guarantee or indicate future individual exam success.
This 50 question self-assessment is one of many tools that you can use to help prepare for the CISA exam.
