Five years of professional IS audit, control, assurance or security work experience. Up to three years can be substituted by general IS experience, a relevant bachelor or master degree, or two years of teaching at university level. Experience must have been earned within the ten years preceding the application or within five years following the exam pass.
They are complementary, not substitutes. ISO 27001 Lead Auditor is the certification-audit credential for the 27001 standard specifically. CISA is the broader IS-audit profession credential, used across frameworks (COBIT, NIST CSF, ISO 27001, SOX, PCI). Big Four engagements typically require CISA; an internal ISMS audit programme typically requires Lead Auditor. Many senior auditors hold both.
Yes. Cyber Academy ships the CISA cohort with one re-sit voucher included. ISACA allows up to four attempts in a 12-month rolling window. Our 99.1% first-attempt pass rate means most learners never use the re-sit.
