Overview

ISACA's CISM is built for people who run security rather than configure it. It validates your ability to align information security with business strategy, manage risk, build and sustain a security program, and organize incident management. Where CISSP also spans a broad technical base, CISM focuses squarely on management and governance.

ISACA is already well known in Morocco through CISA, which is widespread among internal auditors, audit firms and the banking sector. CISM therefore resonates with risk, internal control and IT departments in banks, insurers, public institutions and large companies that must meet Bank Al-Maghrib requirements, Law 05-20 on cybersecurity or the DNSSI.

Over 4 days (32 hours), our preparation covers the 4 domains of the current CISM job practice, with regular exam-style question drills and a method for spotting the most management-oriented answer. The exam voucher is included in the price.
