Are you preparing for the ISACA Certified Information Security Manager (CISM) exam? This comprehensive course covers all four CISM domains through 45 structured lectures, real-world case studies, and practical scenarios built around NovaTech Financial Services — a model company that brings every concept to life.
What Makes This Course Different?
Unlike dry, slide-heavy exam prep courses, this program uses a running case study featuring NovaTech Financial Services and its security team — James (CISO), Sarah (Risk Manager), and Priya (Incident Response Lead). You will follow their journey as they tackle governance challenges, manage enterprise risk, build security programs, and respond to real incidents. Every concept you learn is immediately applied in context.
What You Will Learn:
Domain 1 — Information Security Governance: Enterprise governance frameworks, organizational culture, legal and regulatory requirements, security strategy development, and resource management.
Domain 2 — Information Security Risk Management: Risk assessment methodologies, threat landscape analysis, vulnerability management, risk treatment options, control ownership, and risk monitoring with KRIs.
Domain 3 — Information Security Program: Program development, security architecture, control design, awareness training, secure operations management, and third-party risk.
Domain 4 — Incident Management: Incident response planning, detection and analysis, containment and recovery, forensic investigation, business continuity, and post-incident review.
Course Structure:
The course is organized into 6 sections with 45 video lectures. Section 1 introduces the course and NovaTech. Sections 2 through 5 cover each CISM domain in depth. Section 6 wraps up with exam preparation strategies, a comprehensive review, and a final NovaTech capstone scenario that ties all domains together.
Who Should Take This Course?
This course is designed for IT professionals, security managers, risk analysts, IT auditors, and compliance officers who are preparing for the CISM certification exam or who want to strengthen their information security management skills.
