Certified Information Systems Auditor-CISA

Certified Information Systems Auditor-CISA develops practical capability in information systems audit planning, governance review, systems acquisition, operations assurance, protection of information assets, evidence, and reporting.

Learners progress through Audit Standards, Ethics, Planning, Risk, Materiality, and Evidence; Governance, Management, Organization, Policies, and Performance Assurance; Systems Acquisition, Development, Change, Projects, and Implementation Review; and Operations, Resilience, Information Protection, Findings, and Reporting. Each stage connects ISACA-aligned concepts with implementation decisions, governance responsibilities, troubleshooting, and reviewable evidence.

The learning journey follows an audit team evaluating governance, delivery, operations, and security controls while maintaining independence and defensible evidence and produces a practical CISA audit charter, risk-based plan, working papers, findings, and final report for implementation and operational use.
