What to know before you book the CISM.

A new outline from 3 November 2026

ISACA updates the CISM outline on that date: new domain weights, more weight on security strategy and programme development, and new content on enterprise and security architecture. ISACA has not yet published the detailed topic list. Our questions follow the new weights, and we review them against the topic list as soon as ISACA releases it.

The natural step after CISA

CISA looks at controls from the auditor's side; CISM from the side of the person who designs and runs them. Many candidates hold both.

Original questions only

Every question is written for the current outline. We never use recalled exam content.
