ISACA has entered in a
partnership with the Skills Framework for the Information
Age Foundation(SFIA), which implies that Certified InformationSystems Auditor (CISA) and Certified Information Security Manager (CISM) certifications
are now recognised in the Skills Framework. This framework provides a standardised
view of IT-related work areas and the levels of responsibility that employers
can use to identify skill gaps in companies. IT workers can also use it to
benchmark their skills and plan for career development.
The Skills Framework is the preferred model used by governments since
its inception in 2003, and more than 15,000 businesses, in over 100 countries,
to manage skill needs and to set national education and training requirements.
