The Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) certification is a worldwide recognized standard for evaluating an IT examiner’s education, competence, and experience in identifying risks and implementing IT safeguards in an organizational setting. Balsam IT awards this accreditation to those responsible for ensuring that a company’s IT and business systems are managed, regulated, and secured. It is given following the conclusion of a thorough application and testing process. It is intended for IT auditors, consultants, audit managers, and security experts.

• Developing risk-management-based auditing procedures for data security (IS)
• Reviews that may be used to evaluate whether or not the company’s IT assets are secured, maintained, useful, and also valuable in the long run
• Performing audits in accordance with the company’s established criteria and objectives
