Requirements for Initial CISM Certification

Certification is granted initially to individuals who have successfully completed the CISM exam and meet the following work experience requirements. Five or more years of information security work experience, with a minimum of three years of information security management work experience in three or more of the job practice areas. General information security experience substitutions may be obtained. However, there are no substitutions available for information security management experience.

CISM Certification Experience Substitutions

Other security certifications and information systems management experience can be used to satisfy up to two years of information security management work experience.

Two years may be substituted with the achievement of all of the following:
  • Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) in good standing
  • Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) in good standing
  • Postgraduate degree in information security or a related field (for example, business administration, information systems or information assurance)
- OR -
One year may be substituted for the achievement of one of the following:

  • One full year of information systems management experience
  • One full year of general security management experience
  • Skill-based security certification [e.g., SAN S' Global Information Assurance Certification (GIAC), Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE), CompTIA Security+, Disaster Recovery Institute Certified Business Continuity Professional (CBCP) or ESL IT Security Manager]


For example, an applicant holding either a CISA or CISSP certification will qualify for the maximum two-year experience substitution. However, the applicant also must possess a minimum of three years of information security management work experience in three of the five job practice areas.

Exception: Two years as a full-time instructor teaching the management of information security can be substituted for every one year of information security management work experience.

Experience must have been gained within the 10-year period preceding the date of the application for CISM certification or within five years from the date of initially passing the exam. If the application for CISM certification is not submitted within five years from the passing date of the exam, retaking and passing the exam is required.

The relevant issues of compliance, policies and procedures and managerial administration, are all required components to establish needed frameworks for operational efficiencies within many IT organizations. The growing need to manage the intellectual property and eliminate risk within companies play vital roles regarding the overall strength and stability of businesses, institutions and organizations.

Major driving forces are requiring standardization and parity among workforce skill-sets in order to insure and provide assurance within the Information Technology and Information Assurance disciplines of those who are responsible for the intellectual property sector. This sector, far exceeds what most individuals consider data or property.

The Information Systems Audit and Control Association (ISACA) has developed the Certified Information Security Manager (CISM) certification for seasoned managers in the field of Information Security. This certification emphasizes proficiency relevant to risk and security management with emphasis on technical, assessment and design criteria. The purpose of the CISM is to define and demonstrate the core competencies and international standards of performance which should be expected as skill-sets for qualified information security managers.

Achieving added credentials are benchmarks, which employers recognize as areas of high achievement and superb professional identity. The CISM certification is also recognized world-wide. The fields of IT governance, risk management, program development, program management and incident management and response are all experiencing market demand which will be met by qualified CISM candidates.

The Certified Information Security Manager® (CISM®) certification program is developed specifically for experienced information security managers and those who have information security management responsibilities.

"Just wanted to drop a note.  I took the class back in November, and finally got around to taking the exam a couple weeks ago.  I found the exam to be one of the hardest tests I have taken based on the layout and wording.  The learning and preparation as well as the extra helpers, audios, study tips paid off in the long run.  I passed.

I have recommended the training to others, and will continue to do so.

Thanks again!"
