How is CISM different from the Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP)?
Although there are many differences between the CISSP common body of knowledge and the CISM job practice areas, the most obvious differences is in the experience requirements. Only CISM requires information security management experience, in addition to general information security experience. CISSP has no such management requirement. Earning the CISSP and/or the CISA credential is complementary to the attainment of the CISM credential and is encouraged.
