What is the CISM job practice analysis and how was it developed?
ISACA’s philosophy toward certification is to measure the individuals’ ability and knowledge as it pertains to the performance of their job. To define what security managers do and what they need to know ISACA brought together a task force of prominent industry leaders, subject matter experts and industry practitioners to define the job practice analysis on which the certification exam is based. Due to the importance of the job task analysis and the change experienced in the information security profession, ISACA is currently reviewing the job task analysis. In addition to the CISM’s who are participating in this effort we have been joined by representatives from the Information Systems Security Association, the Information Security Forum and ASIS International.
