Prepare for the ISACA CISM exam, on the 2026 exam content outline. In this lesson: COBIT and governance of enterprise IT, security standards like ISO/IEC 27001 and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, strategic planning with budgets and resources, and the business case that wins management commitment. Includes three original practice questions, with Stonebridge Energy, a fictional energy supplier, as the example.

Preview the topics
  • Business customers ask Stonebridge for an independent certificate, showing that its information security management system meets an international standard. Which standard fits?
  • Stonebridge’s security manager needs board approval for a new identity platform. Which argument will most likely win the board’s support?
  • One year after approving Stonebridge’s security program, the executives seem less interested, and attend fewer meetings. What should the security manager do?
