'''Certified Information Security Manager''' ('''CISM''') is a certification for [[information security management|information security managers]] awarded by [[ISACA]] (formerly the Information Systems Audit and Control Association). To gain the certifications, individuals must pass a written examination and have at least five years of [[information security]] experience with a minimum three years of [[information security management]] work experience in particular fields. |
|||
The intent of the certification is to provide a common body of knowledge for information security management. The CISM focuses on [[information risk management]] as the basis of information security. It also includes material on broader issues such as how to [[information security governance|govern information security]] as well as on practical issues such as developing and managing an information security program and [[incident management|managing incidents]]. |
|||
The point of view in the certification is that of widely accepted cross-industry best practices, where information security gets its justification from business needs. The implementation includes information security as an autonomous function inside wider [[corporate governance]]. |
|||
The CISM certifications tends to be sought after by both [[Certified Information System Auditor|CISA]] and [[CISSP]] certification communities. ISACA created the CISM to help foster a better fusion between IT auditing and information security perspectives. |
|||
In principle, the CISM certification is related in nature to the Information Systems Security Management Professional certification from the [[(ISC)²|International Information Systems Security Certification Consortium]]. |
|||
In 2005, the [[United States Department of Defense]] listed CISM, CISA and CISSP as "approved" certifications for its "Information Assurance Workforce Improvement Program".<ref>[http://www.dtic.mil/whs/directives/corres/pdf/857001m.pdf DoD 8570.01-M, December 19, 2005<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> |
|||
