Certified Information Systems Security Manager

The Certified Information Systems Security Manager certification course is designed to teach towards and certify an information systems professional’s high standard of excellence in following areas:

• Information Security Governance
• Information Risk Management and Compliance
• Information Security Program Development and Management
• Information Security Incident Management

While we provide thorough training in these 4 critical areas of information systems security management, most who take the C)ISSM have professional experience in all four of these areas. A gap of experience in some of these fields can be bridged by achieving our C)ISSO: Certified Information Systems Security Officer Certification.

The C)ISSM was created to train and certify managers of information systems who have experience with Information Security Risk, Security, Compliance, and Incident Management of systems. If you are lacking experience in one or two of these areas we recommend taking our C)ISSO: Certified Information Systems Security Officer Certification. This is specialized course, and as such we expect our students to be familiar with these subjects before coming to the course.

C)ISSO or equivalent experience

Upon successful completion of this course, students will:

• Have an in-depth knowledge of Information Security Risk, Security, Compliance, and Incident Management
• Have knowledge to manage today’s most difficult information systems security challenges
• Be ready to sit for the C)ISSM exam.
