To be eligible for the CISM exam, there are no formal prerequisites to appear for the test itself. However, to earn the certification, candidates must have at least five years of professional work experience in information security management. This experience must be gained within the ten years preceding the application date or within five years after passing the exam. Up to two years of this requirement can be substituted with general information security or management experience, or relevant certifications/degrees (as specified by ISACA).
No, you don’t need prior work experience to start the CISM training course. The training is open to professionals looking to transition into managerial roles in cybersecurity and information security. However, in order to apply for the certification after passing the exam, ISACA requires you to demonstrate at least five years of relevant work experience. So while you can begin learning and even appear for the exam without experience, you’ll need to fulfill the experience requirement later to become certified.
CISM training covers four key domains of information security management as defined by ISACA. These are:
Information Security Governance
Information Risk Management
Information Security Program Development and Management
Information Security Incident Management
Each domain includes in-depth coverage of frameworks, control implementation, compliance, risk mitigation strategies, business continuity, and leadership practices that are critical for security managers.
The CISM exam is a computer-based test administered through PSI testing centers or remote proctoring. It includes 150 multiple-choice questions that must be completed within 4 hours (240 minutes). The questions are scenario-based and test your understanding of real-world security management practices across the four domains. The exam is scored on a scale of 200 to 800, with a minimum score of 450 required to pass.
The exam fee varies depending on whether you are an ISACA member or not.
ISACA Members: Approximately USD 575
Non-Members: Approximately USD 760
These fees are subject to change and may not include local taxes or additional administrative costs. ISACA membership offers additional benefits like discounts on training, exam prep materials, and professional networking opportunities.
The CISM certification does not expire, but it requires ongoing maintenance. Certified professionals must earn and report a minimum of 20 Continuing Professional Education (CPE) hours annually, and 120 CPE hours over a three-year reporting period to retain the certification. Additionally, an annual maintenance fee (around USD 45 for ISACA members or USD 85 for non-members) must be paid. This ensures your knowledge remains current and aligned with evolving industry standards.
