What Is CISM Certification, and Why Does It Matter?
The Certified Information Security Manager (CISM) is the ISACA credential for professionals who manage, design, oversee and assess an enterprise’s information security. It validates expertise in security governance, risk management, program development and incident management, and it is recognized worldwide.
Who should attend a CISM Training Class?
Security and IT professionals who manage, or are moving into managing, an organization’s security program. ISACA does not require training or education hours. It does require five years of information security management experience (at least three years in three of the four CISM domains), and you can take the exam before you have it. A CISSP or CISA in good standing can waive up to 2 of the 5 years. See the full requirements and waivers.

Nate was a great instructor and really made the material accessible. The boot camp provided a ton of information, but was not overwhelming. I definitely feel well prepared for the exam after this course
Our Instructor kept us focused on the most important aspects of the program. He was very adept at helping students through the more complex techniques of the processes. I’m very pleased that I chose this course.

Work Experience, Waivers and Substitutions
You need five years of information security management experience, with at least three years in three of the four domains, all within the ten years before you apply. A current CISA or CISSP in good standing waives 2 years; an MBA or master’s in information security or a related field waives 2; a bachelor’s in information security or a skills-based certification such as Security+ waives 1. Only one substitution applies, with documentation. Read the details and verify with ISACA before you apply.
Benefits of Attending a CISM Boot Camp in Seattle
An accelerated in-person class takes the temptation to postpone test prep off the table. You talk through concepts and situations with your instructor and peers, which grounds your learning, and a classroom of people with the same goal keeps you accountable. Your instructor helps you connect your own experience to how ISACA asks its questions.
