The CISM® designation focuses on information security, or those who manage an information security programme enterprise wide, and certifies that they have the experience and knowledge necessary to provide effective management and consulting services. CISM defines the core competencies and international performance standards that those who have information security responsibilities are expected to master.

“When I advise organisations on the competency model and job profile they should look for when they are searching for a chief security officer, I always recommend they seek out individuals with the CISM certification. The CISM certification has become the leading credential for the business of information security. It differentiates itself from traditional information security certifications by focusing on the business and risk management issues associated with information security.”

John Pironti, CISM, CISA, CGEIT, Chief Information Risk Strategist, CompuCom, USA
