VIS LLC is an ISACA Accredited Training Organization, and its CISA course prepares IT auditors, compliance staff and control assessors for ISACA's Certified Information Systems Auditor exam. You learn live online in evening sessions, with the official ISACA Training Kit, all five exam domains and two full practice exams.
Who CISA is for
CISA is the audit credential employers and assessors already ask for. It proves you can plan a risk-based audit, test whether a control really works, judge the evidence and report what you found. It fits:
- IT auditors and internal audit teams
- Compliance, GRC and risk staff who collect and defend evidence
- Security control assessors, including RMF and NIST SP 800-171 assessors (DCWF work role 612)
- Managers who answer to an audit committee, a prime or a contracting officer
The five CISA exam domains
Sessions follow ISACA's current CISA exam content outline, and study time follows the domain weights.
| Domain | What you learn | Exam weight |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Information System Auditing Process | Audit standards, risk-based audit planning, evidence, sampling, reporting and follow-up. | 18% |
| 2. Governance and Management of IT | IT governance frameworks, strategy, policy, risk management and IT resource management. | 18% |
| 3. Information Systems Acquisition, Development and Implementation | Project governance, the development life cycle, testing, application controls and change. | 12% |

The CISA exam has 150 multiple-choice questions in four hours, scored from 200 to 800 with 450 to pass. After you pass, ISACA also requires relevant work experience before it awards the certification; see ISACA's CISA page.
