The benchmark IT audit credential: the audit process itself, IT governance and management, systems acquisition and development, operations and resilience, and protection of information assets.
ISACA does not publish numeric exam codes — CISA is the common abbreviation.
Certified Information Systems Auditor is ISACA's professional-level governance, risk & compliance certification, referred to across the industry by the shorthand CISA. The exam runs for 4 hours and presents up to 150 questions, with a pass mark of 450 / 800 (scaled). It costs US$760 at the standard rate.
ISACA publishes the syllabus as 5 weighted domains. Information Systems Operations and Business Resilience carries the most weight at 26%, and the three largest domains together account for roughly 70% of the scored content — worth knowing before you decide where study time goes.
CISA questions are written from the auditor’s chair. The correct answer is usually the one that establishes evidence or independence, even when a more operationally convenient option is available.
