Meet your instructor →CISA COURSE MATERIAL
Learn the audit decision behind every domain.
The course connects audit evidence, governance, delivery, operations, resilience and protection controls. Study each unit as a decision: identify the risk, determine suitable criteria, collect evidence and communicate a conclusion that management can act on.
Planning, evidence and sampling
Choose procedures that produce sufficient, reliable and relevant evidence; use sampling only when its limitations are understood.
Findings, communication and follow-up
Connect condition, criteria, cause, effect and recommendation, then track agreed actions without assuming management's risk ownership.
IT governance and performance
Evaluate decision rights, strategy alignment, policies, metrics, resource management and oversight of outsourced services.
Acquisition and secure delivery
Review business cases, requirements, controls, testing, conversion, release approval and post-implementation outcomes across delivery methods.
Operations and service management
Assess jobs, changes, incidents, problems, capacity, availability, logging, configuration and supplier performance as connected processes.
Business continuity and disaster recovery
Trace business impact, recovery objectives, dependencies, backup design, alternate processing and evidence from realistic exercises.
Information-asset protection
Evaluate least privilege, segregation, privileged access, network defenses, cryptography, data handling, privacy and response readiness.
Use ISACA's outline as the scope authority.
Verify official outlineThe current CISA exam contains 150 questions. ITCertPath's diagnostic is shorter and is designed to reveal where deeper study is needed.
CURRENT FIVE-DOMAIN OUTLINE
Allocate study time according to exam weight and readiness.
Operations and resilience plus protection of information assets together account for 52% of the current outline. Do not neglect audit process and governance: they shape how a CISA candidate evaluates every technical control.
Domain 1: Information System Auditing Process
Risk-based audit planning, standards, evidence, sampling, reporting and follow-up.
Domain 2: Governance and Management of IT
Strategy alignment, policies, enterprise architecture, performance, people and third-party governance.
Domain 3: Information Systems Acquisition, Development and Implementation
Business cases, requirements, project governance, testing, migration and post-implementation review.
Domain 4: Information Systems Operations and Business Resilience
Service operations, change, incident and problem management, capacity, backup, continuity and recovery.
Domain 5: Protection of Information Assets
Identity, access, network and endpoint controls, encryption, privacy, monitoring and incident response.
