The CISM credential measures expertise on the subjects of information security governance, risk management, information security program management, information security management and response management. It distinguishes you among other candidates in the information security field, and it appropriately identifies you as having the knowledge and expertise required to get the job done effectively.” David Simpson, CISM, CISA Managing Director, CQR Consulting, Australia
