CISA Certification Requirements

 
To become a certified CISA, you will first need to pass the certifying exam. Applicants will need a minimum of five years’ work experience as an information systems auditor. However, you can waive up to three years of that experience requirement if you’ve met the following criteria:

One year of experience as an Information Systems auditor. You may also submit one year of non-IS auditing experience.

A two or four-year degree, which can be substituted for the experience requirement, provided that your degree was earned within the previous 10 years. The associate’s degree can substitute for one year of experience, while a bachelor’s degree will substitute for two years.

Hold a master’s degree in Information Security, Information Technology, or the equivalent. A graduate degree can count for one year of experience.

Two years’ experience as a university professor of computer science, accounting or information systems auditing can be substituted for one year of experience in the field.

 
Once you fulfill the experience criteria, you will have to agree to the ISACA code of professional ethics. Adhere to the continuing professional education (CPE) program, which confirms that you continue to develop as a professional. Maintain your membership fees to the ISACA and complete at least 20 CPE hours per year.
 
You will also have to agree to maintain the auditing standards of the ISACA and of all CISA holders. If it is found that a CISA’s work is not in compliance with the association’s standards, that professional might lose credential standing or otherwise face disciplinary measures
