Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA)

Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) is a certification and globally recognized standard for appraising an IT auditor's knowledge, expertise and skill in assessing vulnerabilities and instituting IT controls in an enterprise environment.

This certification is issued by ISACA to people in charge of ensuring an organization's IT and business systems are monitored, managed and protected. It is presented after completion of a comprehensive testing and application process. It is designed for IT auditors, audit managers, consultants and security professionals.

Attaining CISA certification is considered beneficial because it is accepted by employers worldwide and is often requested for IT audit and security information management (SIM) positions. The certification provides the holder with greater visibility throughout the job application process since most recruiters prefer and keep an eye out for IT auditors with a CISA certification.

Responsibilities of a Certified Information Systems Auditor

The primary duties of a CISA include:

Implementing an audit strategy for information systems (IS) that is based on risk management.
Planning audits that can be used to determine whether or not IT assets are protected, managed and valuable.
Executing the audits in compliance with the organization's set standards and objectives.
Sharing audit results and providing recommendations to management based on the results.
Performing reexaminations of the audits to ensure the recommended actions have been performed by management.
A CISA's responsibilities often extend beyond auditing control. They are expected to work with management to confirm organizational processes, plans for implementation and operation of the deployed systems, and promote the organization's objectives and strategies.

This includes evaluating:

risk management practices;
IT portfolio and resource management;
strategies for business-IT alignment;
business continuity and disaster recovery strategies;
IT policies, standards, processes and procedures within the organization;
the value of the IT control framework; and
the management and monitoring of IT personnel, the IT organizational structure and controls.
After systems are implemented, CISAs must continue to monitor various areas to ensure successful deployment of the systems. This includes conducting project and post-implementation reviews. Other responsibilities include evaluating:

the business case for the proposed system;
controls for the IS;
IT supplier selection and contract management processes;
the project management framework and controls; and
the preparedness of the IS.
Once the system is implemented, the CISA is responsible for evaluating:

the IT service management practices and structure;
end-user computing;
change and release management operations;
IT continuity and resilience;
database management system ex*****on;
IT operations and maintenance;
conducted reviews of the IS;
complications and incident management practices; and
data quality and life cycle management.
Finally, a CISA is responsible for working with management. This is to ensure the security standards, policies, procedures and controls within the organization impart integrity, confidentiality and availability of information assets.

How to become a Certified Information Systems Auditor

In order to become CISA certified, applicants must complete the following five steps:

Successfully complete and pass the CISA exam.
Apply for CISA certification.
Adhere to ISACA's Code of Professional Ethics.
Follow ISACA's Continuing Professional Education Program.

ISACA asks that all CISA applicants complete five years of professional IS auditing, control, assurance or security work, but substitutions and waivers can be obtained. For example, one year of IS experience or one year of non-IS auditing can be substituted for one year of experience. Also, 60 to 120 university semester credit hours -- a two year to four year degree -- can replace one or two years of experience, respectively. Two years as a full-time instructor within the related field at a university can also replace one year of experience.

Work experience must be within the 10 years prior to a candidate's application submission or within five years of a passed CISA exam. The candidate must also show adherence to ISACA's Code of Professional Ethics and Information Systems Auditing Standards. Once these criteria are met, the candidate can successfully apply for certification.
