Description:

CISA® stands as the world's most recognised and widely adopted certification for professionals engaged in IS auditing and IT risk consulting.

Our CISA course delivers an intensive, highly competitive, and exam-centric training experience. With a proven track record of facilitating over 150 CISA training sessions across Europe and globally, and having trained more than 1,200 delegates, Net Security has developed its in-house CISA training materials with the primary objective of ensuring delegates pass the ISACA CISA® Examination. The training methodology emphasises a deep understanding of CISA IS auditing concepts and extensive practice with large volumes of ISACA-released question banks from the past three years. Over time, CISA holders have seen immense demand from renowned accounting firms, global banks, advisory and assurance divisions, and internal audit departments.

While delegates may possess years of experience in IT auditing, their approach to answering CISA questionnaires will depend entirely on their grasp of globally accepted IT assurance practices. The CISA examination is notoriously challenging due to the close proximity of possible answers, which tests the candidate's nuanced understanding of global IT auditing practices. To address these challenges, we consistently provide expert trainers with extensive international experience in delivering CISA training.

The Net Security CISA manual encompasses all exam-relevant concepts, case studies, and Q&A sessions across the five CISA domains. Additionally, trainers provide key supporting materials throughout the course, including relevant CISA notes, question banks, a CISA glossary, videos, revision documents, exam tips, and CISA mind maps.

Goal:

The ultimate objective is to pass your CISA examination on the first attempt.

Objectives:

• Apply the acquired knowledge in a practical manner that benefits your organisation.
• Deliver audit services in compliance with IT audit standards.
• Provide assurance regarding leadership, organisational structure, and processes.
• Provide assurance on the acquisition, development, testing, and implementation of IT assets.
• Provide assurance on IT operations, including service operations and third-party management.
• Provide assurance on the organisation’s security policies, standards, procedures, and controls to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information assets.
