The CISM exam, officially titled Certified Information Security Manager, is the ISACA exam you pass to earn the Certified Information Security Manager (CISM) certification, a credential at the Professional level. Passing it confirms the skills defined in the official exam outline, and it is associated with related credentials such as CISA, CRISC, CGEIT, CISSP.

The CISM exam includes 150 questions and gives you 240 minutes to finish them. That is a tight pace per question, so get used to reading each stem once, flagging anything uncertain, and moving on rather than getting stuck. Running timed practice tests in the Fast2test desktop or online test engine is the most reliable way to build that rhythm before exam day.

The passing score for the CISM exam is 450 (scaled score out of 800), and the official registration fee is $575 (ISACA member) / $760 (non-member). Keep in mind that a failed attempt means paying $575 (ISACA member) / $760 (non-member) again in full to retake it, so book your slot only when your scores on Fast2test practice tests sit consistently above the passing line.

ISACA lists the following prerequisites or eligibility notes for the CISM exam: ISACA recommends 5 years of work experience in information security management (waivers available for up to 2 years based on education or other certifications)..
