Security management rather than security engineering: governance, risk management, building and running a security programme, and managing incidents at an organisational level.
ISACA does not publish numeric exam codes — CISM is the common abbreviation.
Certified Information Security Manager is ISACA's professional-level cybersecurity certification, referred to across the industry by the shorthand CISM. 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 4 weighted domains. Information Security Program carries the most weight at 33%, and the three largest domains together account for roughly 83% of the scored content — worth knowing before you decide where study time goes.
