What are the qualifications to earn the CISA credential?

Qualifying for CISA requires a combination of four "e's": experience, ethics, education and exam. Specifically, the requirements are:
  • Earn a passing score on the CISA exam
  • Adhere to the ISACA Code of Professional Ethics
  • Commit to abide by the CISA Continuing Professional Education Policy
  • A minimum of five years of professional information systems auditing, control or security work experience (as described in the job practice areas) is required for certification. Substitutions and waivers of such experience may be obtained if certain education and general IS or audit experience requirements are met. 

    How long is the exam?

    A candidate is given 4 hours to complete a 200 multiple-choice question exam. 

    What does the CISA exam cover?

    The CISA exam will cover six IS audit, control or security areas, each of which is further defined and detailed through task and knowledge statements.
