The CISA certification is designed to recognise information systems (IS) audit, control and security professionals. You must be able to submit evidence of a minimum of five years of professional information systems auditing, control or security work experience.

Experience substitutions

The following can be substituted for a maximum of three of the five-year work experience requirement:

  • A maximum of 1 year of information systems experience OR 1 year of non-IS auditing experience can be substituted for 1 year of experience.
  • 60 to 120 completed university semester credit hours (the equivalent of an 2-year or 4-year degree) not limited by the 10-year preceding restriction, can be substituted for 1 or 2 years of experience, respectively. A bachelor's or master's degree from a university that enforces the ISACA-sponsored Model Curricula can be substituted for 1 year of experience. To view a list of these schools, please visit www.isaca.org/modeluniversities. This option cannot be used if 3 years of experience substitution and educational waiver have already been claimed.
  • A master's degree in information security or information technology from an accredited university can be substituted for 1 year of experience.
  • Exception: 2 years as a full-time university instructor in a related field (e.g., computer science, accounting, information systems auditing) can be substituted for 1 year of experience.

As an example, at a minimum (assuming a 2-year waiver of experience by substituting 120 university credits), an applicant must have 3 years of actual work experience. This experience can be completed by:
3 years of IS audit, control, assurance or security experience
OR
2 years of IS audit, control assurance or security experience and 1 full year non-IS audit or IS experience or 2 years as a full-time university instructor.

Applicants must also adherence to:

  • The Code of Professional Ethics
  • The Continuing Professional Education (CPE) Program
  • The Information Systems Auditing Standards

Many individuals choose to take the CISA exam prior to meeting the experience requirements.

This practice is acceptable and encouraged - as long as the experience is gained within a 10 year period preceding the application date or within 5 years from the date of originally passing the exam. Candidates have 5 years from the passing date to apply for certification.
