CISSP is another highly demanded and respected one. Also opens up the door for security roles.

like

CISA and CISSP are the certifications most in demand. You can consider ITIL/CompTIA as well, but I would focus on CISSP more.

like

CIA for broader appreciation of risk management and internal audit theory

like

CPA (if accounting background), CISSP, PMP

like

This depends on what you want to do. If you want to stay in IT Audit, the CISA is all you need in my opinion.

like

Definitely CISA

Can’t think of any other one except maybe PMP? That could be useful if you would like to be a manager? Would love to know if there are any certifications that are specific to cyber security
