The Certified Information Security Manager®
(CISM®) certification program is developed
specifically for experienced information security
managers and those who have information security
management responsibilities. The CISM certification
is for the individual who manages, designs,
oversees and/or assesses an enterprise’s
information security (IS). The CISM certification
promotes international practices and provides
executive management with assurance that those
earning the designation have the required
experience and knowledge to provide effective
security management and consulting services.
Individuals earning the CISM certification
become part of an elite peer network, attaining
a one-of-a-kind credential. The CISM job practice
also defines a global job description for
the information security manager and a method
to measure existing staff or compare prospective
new hires. Worldwide Recognition
Although certification may not be mandatory
for you at this time, a growing number of
organizations are requiring or recommending
that employees become certified. To help
ensure success in the global marketplace,
it is vital to select a certification program
based on universally accepted information
security management practices. CISM delivers
such a program.
CISM® Self-Assessment
CISM is unique in the information security credential marketplace because it is designed specifically and exclusively for individuals who have
experience managing an information security program. The CISM certification measure an individual's management experience in information security
situations, not general practitioner skills. Earning the CISM designation distinguishes you as a qualified information security management
professional with experience and knowledge managing, designing and overseeing an enterprise's information security.
ISACA has prepared the CISM self-assessment to help CISM exam candidates assess their knowledge of the CISM job practice areas and determine
in which information security areas they may have strengths and weaknesses. This self-assessment contains 50 sample items covering the appropriate
proportion of subject matter to match the CISM exam blueprint. The items are not actual CISM 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 test
guarantee or indicate future individual success.
This 50 question self-assessment is one of many tools that you can use to help prepare for the CISM exam.
