    To me this screams CRISC. Are you changing roles? Big jump form DevOps to risk.

    CISM. Great for management and knowledge of aligning a security program to a governance framework.

    CISSP is the "generic black belt" for that kind of requirement ;)

    CISSP certification covers 95% of this Mirror51
    B.Sc (Info. Systems), CISSP, CCNA, CCNP, Security+

    I agree with @cyberguypr. CRISC is the cert--CISSP and CISM are not deep enough. That is a huge career path change from being an AWS developer. You'll never write a line of code in your new profession.

    CISSP and ISACA certifications would cover those topics just for gaining knowledge, but if that is a job posting that requires "experience" in those areas then going after a certification without the skills is pointless. If you have zero experience in the areas required for the role then I highly doubt that a certification will get you over the hump. 

    Just my $0.02
    Alphabet soup from (ISC)2, ISACA, GIAC, EC-Council, Microsoft, ITIL, Cisco, Scrum, CompTIA, AWS

    CRISC  all day long .    as stated before by other uses . CISSP  and CISM  are just not deep enough.

    I agree with cyberguy as well. This certification is all about risk.
    One issue that you may have is that the the HR or hiring manager may want the CISSP as it is more well known but not as applicable.

    You could go  CISSP, CISM,CRISC   in that order  but it is gonna suck
