What is the CISA certification?

CISA (Certified Information Systems Auditor) is ISACA's flagship credential for IS audit, assurance, and compliance professionals. It covers 5 domains: IS Auditing Process, Governance and Management of IT, IS Acquisition Development and Implementation, IS Operations and Business Resilience, and Protection of Information Assets.

How many questions are on the CISA exam?

The CISA exam consists of 150 multiple-choice questions to be completed in 4 hours. A score of 450 or higher (on a scale of 200–800) is required to pass.

How long does CISA exam preparation take?

Most candidates require 150–200 hours of study time. VirtualTrainingPro's live CISA prep typically spans 6–8 weeks for a structured cohort, or can be compressed for candidates with existing IS audit experience.

Is CISA useful for CMMC compliance work?

Yes. CISA maps directly to IS audit and evidence evaluation roles in CMMC programs. CISA-credentialed practitioners collect, evaluate, and present control evidence that satisfies C3PAO assessors during CMMC Level 2 and Level 3 assessments.
