Who is it for?

CISM is designed specifically and exclusively for individuals who have experience managing an information security program. CISM targets the information security manager-the individual who has progressed beyond the practitioner focus, whose emphasis is no longer technical or specialist skills, and who has moved on to the management of an enterprise's information security program. CISM is for the individual who must manage and oversee the enterprise's information security effort, including the practitioners, many of whom may hold other certifications the field offers.
