Welcome, I am Thor Pedersen, and I am here to help you pass your CISM certification.

CISM (Certified Information Security Manager) is an advanced certification designed for IT professionals who focus on information security management. In this post, we’ll discuss what CISM is, the CISM certification process, and the benefits of being CISM-certified.

DEFINITION OF CISM

CISM (Certified Information Security Manager) is “an advanced certification which indicates that an individual possesses the knowledge and experience required to develop and manage an enterprise information security program.” This certification is offered by ISACA, a nonprofit, independent association. CISM is accredited by ANSI under ISO/IEC 17024:2003.

CISM is designed for professionals who focus on information security management, like IT managers, information security analysts, or consultants supporting information security management. A CISM-certified individual is expected to manage the company’s information security, develop policies and practices, and understand the relationship between information security and business objectives.

This course consists of:

- 4 tests of 150 questions each, simulating 4 real exams
- Explanations of each question and its correct answer.
- English language
- The tests include questions from both preparation tests and the latest certification exams.

Are you looking to prepare yourself for the ISACA Certified Information Security Manager (CISM) exam? Did you know the CISM certification is one of the 20 Top-Paying Certifications for 2018 with an average annual salary of $105,926 per year*?

This practice test course is designed to help prepare you for the CISM exam. Since the requirements and costs are so high (the exam registration alone is $760 for non-members and $575 for ISACA members), you'll want to make sure you're prepared to pass the exam the first time.

Practicing the same questions over and over isn’t helpful because you’ll quickly begin to memorize the test questions and answers. The best way to prepare is to practice as many DIFFERENT questions as possible.

This course has been designed with the purpose of helping students to practice the exam tests, which is essential to be prepared to understand and answer the exam questions.

The CISM exam contains 150 questions (4 hours of time) and covers 4 areas of information security management, each of which is defined and detailed by task and knowledge statements and are applicable across most corporate verticals:

- Information Security Governance (24%): establish and/or maintain an information security governance framework and supporting processes to ensure that the information security strategy is aligned with the organization's goals and objectives.

- Information Risk Management and Compliance (30%): Manage information risk to an acceptable level based on risk appetite to meet the organization's goals and objectives.

- Information Security Program Development and Management (27%): Develop and maintain an information security program that identifies, manages and protects the organization's assets while aligning with the information security strategy and business objectives, thereby supporting an effective security posture.

- Information Security Incident Management (19%): Plan, establish and manage the ability to detect, investigate, respond to and recover from information security incidents to minimize business impact.

CISM means personal and professional career growth and advancement. With this certification you will have a Certified Information Security Manager qualification, one of the most prestigious IT certifications.
