On to the Next One: ISSMP

Finished taking the CISM exam today in Richmond, VA. Felt good walking out, pretty sure I passed...but you can't be 100% certain until you get that e-mail notification.

Thinking about working on a CISSP concentration: ISSMP. A lateral move while this CISM mindset is still in head.

Overlapping material from the CISSP and CISA exams I took last year. Just a different "mindset". The CISSP tends to focus on best security practices, and the CISA speaks upon the scope of auditing with regards to business objectives, the CISM exams speaks more to policies, procedures and security practices in alignment with business objectives.

Overall, it was a pretty straight forward exam, study material provided was sufficient for my studies.
