Anyone with their CISSP and their CISM here?
I have my CISSP and am currently gearing up for the CISM exam. I am currently using the CISM AIO by Peter Gregory but plan on also using the online Q&A database. The reason I am posting here is because I want to know if any CISMs supplemented their CISM studies with the Shon Harris CISSP AIO book. I just cracked my CISSP… -
Re: Anyone with their CISSP and their CISM here?
I got my CISSP first and a year and change later i passed the CISM exam followed by the CISSP-ISSMP exam four days later. As others have stated the ISSMP and CISM are very similar. If you study and pass one, you should be positioned to pass the other. I just used the CISM QA database to study and relied on my experience. -

Re: Anyone with their CISSP and their CISM here?
@Sirkassad - I just used the ISACA QAE DB to formally prepare for the CISM. I was also relying on my experience to supplement it. I felt the QAE DB was sufficient for my preparation needs but more so as the CISM was my first ISACA exam, gave me familiarity to ISACA's approach to their exam questions. -

Re: Anyone with their CISSP and their CISM here?
There are posts on TE stating the materials for the CISM and CISSP-ISSMP cert are very similar. That would make sense as the CISSP-ISSMP is more management-oriented and less broad in general InfoSec topics than the CISSP. Once I am finished with an MBA program, I'll consider getting the CISM and CISSP-ISSM at the same… -
Re: Anyone with their CISSP and their CISM here?
I have both the CISM and the CISSP, but I did the CISM first because I judged it to be easier to achieve. I only used the ISACA CISM study manual, but frankly I didn't study a lot for it. For a few weeks I'd skim the book on my subway ride to and from work, but it was so dry and boring that I would lose focus a lot. That… -
Re: Anyone with their CISSP and their CISM here?
That is true, I did the CISSP-ISSMP after the CISM for that reason. After studying for the CISM the material for the CISSP-ISSMP was pretty easy. I'd guess the decision to do it would be pretty straight forward now that ISC2 charges the same AMF rates no matter how many certs you hold. On the other hand the CISSP-ISSMP… -
Re: Anyone with their CISSP and their CISM here?
I also did my CISSP first.Then the CISM the year after. I did the opposite, tried to stay away from the CISSP materials as the way of ISC2 and ISACA phrase their questions and answers feels different. I mainly used the Official CISM Review Manual and the Q&A book. I also read a lot of the material referenced like the NIST…
