CISM Experience Waiver

wayne_wonder

I’ve been on the website and I can’t see if a Degree in computing would satisfy 1 year or my MCSA or CEH

Anyone help or knows what we can use as experience waiver

4. Work Experience
Submit verified evidence of a minimum of five years of information security work experience, with a minimum of three years of information security management work experience in three or more of the job practice analysis areas. The work experience must be gained within the 10-year period preceding the application date for certification or within 5 years from the date of originally passing the exam.
Experience Substitutions
The following security-related certifications and information systems management experience can be used to satisfy the indicated amount of information security work experience.
Two Years:

• Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) in good standing
• Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) in good standing
• Post-graduate degree in information security or a related field (e.g., business administration, information systems, information assurance)

One Year:

• One full year of information systems management experience
• One full year of general security management experience
• Skill-based security certifications (e.g., SANS Global Information Assurance Certification (GIAC), Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE), CompTIA Security +, Disaster Recovery Institute Certified Business Continuity Professional (CBCP), ESL IT Security Manager)
• Completion of an information security management program at an institution aligned with the Model Curriculum

The experience substitutions will not satisfy any portion of the 3-year information security management work experience requirement.
Exception: Two years as a full-time university instructor teaching the management of information security can be substituted for every 1 year of information security experience.


Doesn't sound like your MCSA, CEH, or general computing degree would qualify for any CISM experience waiver. However, you could look into a 1 year waiver for information systems management/security experience.
