The credential
What is AAISM™?
Advanced in AI Security Management (AAISM™) is the new, AI-specific security-management credential from ISACA — open to professionals who already hold an active CISSP® or CISM®. It validates that you can govern, assess, and control AI systems, not just operate them.
Why the category exists
AI created risks classic governance can't see.
Adaptive models behave in ways traditional IT controls were never designed to catch: they learn from shifting data, produce decisions that are hard to explain, and can affect groups unevenly. Securing and governing AI has become its own discipline — and AAISM™ is how experienced security leaders prove they can manage it.
It builds directly on the security-management foundation a CISSP® or CISM® already establishes — so it rewards your existing expertise rather than re-teaching it.
Who's eligible
Open to CISSP® and CISM® holders.
- You hold an active CISSP® — eligible.

Why it's worth it
The differentiator for AI-era security leaders.
Every organization deploying AI now needs people who can govern it responsibly. AAISM™ is a concise, credible signal that you're one of them — distinct from generalist certifications, and aimed squarely at the leaders making AI risk decisions today.
