CISA is more audit related, CISM is ISACA’s attempt at putting out something similar to the CISSP without the technical aspects IMO. If you pass the CISA you should pass the CISM.

If you want to go outside of audit get the CISSP.

What do you want to do? Audit systems or manage an info sec team. Fairly different areas of focus, albeit both in information security.

I have the CISA and it was a nice start in IT for me since I started with my CPA. CISM is more technical and like another poster said it moves you away from audit.

Hi everyone! In this field, when choosing a masters degree program is it more beneficial to get a degree in Human Resources to further my knowledge in HR (my undergraduate degree is in Economics) , an MBA, or Data Science Degree due to the fact that HR is becoming more data driven as well as get a PHR / SHRM-CP certification?
