The focus of CISSP is purely Information Security. Having said that, its a very big field. CISSP’s reputation as a certification is for being ‘ a mile wide and an inch deep ’. In fact it’s so wide that rather like the Great Wall of China, you can probably see it from space. That, and not technical depth, is what makes it hard. That’s a limitation too - CISSP means you understand something, but not that you know how to do it.

Information risk and security is an infinite field of work and study. You can spend your whole life trying to gain the width or depth of knowledge necessary to do the job competently, and every day feel you know a little less than the day before. At the same time, it’s one of the least mature professions you can find. It has been borne from a computing industry less than a century old, yet in many ways has grown beyond it.

The Certified Information Systems Manager (CISM) qualification is provided by ISACA, and roughly on a par with it’s CISA IT audit qualification. It is a certification for IT security managers, and like CISA tries to strike a balance between technical IT knowledge and business understanding, with a focus on information risk management, information security governance, incident management, and developing and managing an information security program.

CISA is possibly the one ‘pure’ Information systems audit qualification that is recognised anywhere. It is balanced between technical IT knowledge and business understanding. And it has lovely exam questions - and I should know, as I wrote some of them. There are other IT audit certifications – from the IIA’s aborted QiCA to supporting CPA type accounting quals and tech quals such as CCNA – but none with the universal recognition CISA holds.
