ISACA CISA Training Boot Camp

The CISA certification is in high demand and recognized worldwide. Earning this certification will show employers and peers that you have the knowledge and skills to perform effective audits of information systems and recommend improvements.  

Demand for information systems auditors and other information security analyst roles is extremely high. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) predicts that jobs will grow by 33% through 2030. This is four times the growth expected across all job categories!    

An information systems auditor is responsible for ensuring the IT systems function properly and are well protected from cyberattacks. They perform audits of the IT governance structure, application controls, data integrity, and system security and provide recommendations to leadership.

Information systems auditors must stay up to date on the latest computer technology, systems, and equipment and often need to obtain professional certification like the CISA to advance in their careers.

InfoSec Institute reports the average salary of CISA certification holders as ranging from $52,459 to $122,326. According to ZipRecruiter, the average annual salary for a professional holding a CISA certification is $103,986 as of May 2022.

Your certification is valid for three years and will need to be renewed at the end of this period. To ensure that your skills remain up to date in an ever-evolving field, you must earn 120 CPEs during each three-year renewal period—with a minimum of 20 CPEs each year.
