The mark of excellence for a professional certification program is the value
and recognition it bestows on the individual who achieves it. Since 1978, the Certified Information Systems
Auditor (CISA) program, sponsored by ISACA®, has been the globally accepted standard of achievement among
information systems (IS) audit, control and security professionals.
The technical skills and practices that CISA promotes and evaluates are the building blocks of success in
the field. Possessing the CISA designation demonstrates proficiency and is the basis for measurement in the
profession. With a growing demand for professionals possessing IS audit, control and security skills, CISA
has become a preferred certification program by individuals and organizations around the world. CISA
certification signifies commitment to serving an organization and the IS audit, control and security
industry with distinction. In addition, it presents a number of professional and personal benefits.
