Certified Information Security Manager (CISM®)

The CISM examination and certification are offered by ISACA
(www.isaca.org). ISACA describes the CISM as: "The
management-focused CISM is the globally accepted standard for
individuals who design, build and manage enterprise
information security programs. CISM is the leading credential
for information security managers."

The CISM examination is held twice per year (in June and
December) at many locations around the world. The
examination, which consists of 200 multiple-choice questions, is
expected to be completed by the candidate within four hours.
The examination is paper-based and held in conjunction with
other ISACA examinations at the same time and in the same
testing center as other ISACA certifications (CISA, CRISC,
CGEIT). It is best to register early for the examination because
the price of the exam rises as the exam date approaches, and the
registration period ends several months before the examination
date. Examination candidates register for the examination
directly on the ISACA website, where the exam is offered in
several languages.
