Certified Information Security Manager—certification focused on security management and governance.
CISM (Certified Information Security Manager) is an ISACA certification for information security managers. CISM focuses on security governance, risk management, programme development, and incident management—emphasising management rather than technical skills. Requirements include experience in security management and passing the exam. CISM is appropriate for those in or aspiring to security management roles.
Why It Matters
The DSC Perspective:
CISM demonstrates security management capability. It's valuable for those moving into security leadership from technical roles or demonstrating management credentials.
