5 Top-Paying Certifications for 2014.

Based on the 2014 IT Skills and Salary Survey conducted by Global Knowledge and Penton and completed in October 2013, the rankings below are derived from certifications that received the minimum number of responses to be statistically relevant.Average (mean) salary

1. Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control (CRISC) - $118,253)
The CRISC certification is designed for IT professionals, project managers, and others whose job it is to identify and manage risks through appropriate Information Systems (IS) controls, covering the entire lifecycle, from design to implementation to ongoing maintenance. It measures two primary areas: risk and IS controls.

2. Certified Information Security Manager (CISM) - $114,844)
ISACA also created CISM certification. It's aimed at management more than the IT professional and focuses on security strategy and assessing the systems and policies in place more than it focuses on the person who actually implements those policies using a particular vendor's platform.


3. Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) - $112,040)
The third highest-paying certification is also from ISACA; this one is for IS auditors. CISA certification is ISACA's oldest, dating back to 1978, with more than 106,000 people certified since its inception. CISA certification requires at least five years of experience in IS auditing, control, or security in addition to passing an exam that is only offered three times per year.
The CISA certification is usually obtained by those whose job responsibilities include auditing, monitoring, controlling, and/or assessing IT and/or business systems. It is designed to test the candidate's ability to manage vulnerabilities, ensure compliance with standards, and propose controls, processes, and updates to a company's policies to ensure compliance with accepted IT and business standards.

4. Six Sigma Green Belt - $109,165)
Six Sigma is a process of analyzing defects (anything outside a customer's specifications) in a production (manufacturing) process, with a goal of no more than 3.4 defects per million "opportunities" or chances for a defect to occur. The basic idea is to measure defects, analyze why they occurred, and then fix the issue and repeat. There is a process for improving existing processes and a slightly modified version for new processes or major changes. Motorola pioneered the concept in the mid-1980s, and many companies have since followed their examples to improve quality.

This certification is different from the others in this list, as it is not IT specific. Instead, it is primarily focused on manufacturing and producing better quality products.

There is no organization that owns Six Sigma certification per se, so the specific skills and number of levels of mastery vary depending on which organization or certifying company is used. Still, the entry level is typically Green Belt and the progression is to Black Belt and Master Black Belt. Champions are responsible for Six Sigma projects across the entire organization and report to senior management.

5. Project Management Professional (PMP®) - $108,525)
The PMP certification was created and is administered by the Project Management Institute (PMI®), and it is the most recognized project management certification available. There are more than half a million active PMPs in 193 countries worldwide.
The PMP certification exam tests five areas relating to the lifecycle of a project: initiating, planning, executing, monitoring and controlling, and closing. PMP certification is for running any kind of project, and it is not specialized into sub types, such as manufacturing, construction, or IT.

Not All Audits Are the Same

A list of what could be audited is long, and, in practice, the most likely activities to be audited are those that link to significant business risk.
It is likely that if previous audits raised issues and included recommendations, the auditors will be interested in what has changed since these were made and may choose to re-audit some of them.
It can be assumed that documented and current business impact analyses, business continuity plans and risk assessments will be of interest to the auditors. Questions will be raised if these are incomplete, out of date or not available. Not a good start.
In addition, a short list of what could be audited would include:

• Data center audits-Including physical and logical security, process documentation and metrics. Of course, there is much more to this, including, for example, examination of controls at various levels (e.g., operating systems, applications, databases, networks, cryptography).
• IS/IT process audits-Often a COBIT 5 -based audit, which includes the COBIT Process Assessment Model (PAM): Using COBIT 5[SUP]2[/SUP] (It replaces the capability maturity model used up to COBIT 4.1.)
• Information security audits-Focusing on the controls used to manage the availability, confidentiality and integrity of information
• IS/IT systems development audits-Focusing on the specification, development, testing, initial data loading, accreditation, and, in particular, security and business process controls
• IS/IT large software projects audits-Related to the previous item, but focusing on project management processes, change management and reporting (A series of columns on this topic is planned for future issues of the ISACA Journal.)
• Postimplementation benefits audits-Occur once a project has been completed and has been operational for some time. These audits are intended to validate whether the benefits identified in the original business case for investing in the project have been achieved.
• Business continuity audits-To review the resiliency, recovery and other contingency plans prepared to restore an appropriate level of normalcy after a situation that heavily disrupts the organization's IS/IT facilities
• IS/IT management/governance audits-Particularly important when relying on external service providers (i.e., outsourcing and offshoring service providers). Such audits examine cost recovery or charging systems, budgeting and cost control, and organizational structure.
• Change management audits-Reviewing the procedures and systems used to control changes to infrastructure, software and the changes in relationships arising from organizational changes and/or the introduction of new technologies (such as bring your own device [BYOD])

In terms of the Governing authority, CISA Candidates are recognized by ISACA International, for the case of Tanzania, there is ISACA Local Chapter called ISACA Tanzania Chapter headed by the presidents and its board members.

ISACA certification (CISA inclusive) have been recognized by government entities, industries, publications, standard bodies, and major consulting groups. Examples are listed below.

1. UK Government's 2014 cyber security skills report revealed that CISA are among the information assurance qualification they look when they recruiting staff.

2. The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) has awarded accreditation under ISO /IEC 17024 to the CISA Certification programs for the past three years.

3. US Department of defense (DoD)included CISA in the list of approved certification for its information assurance professionals.
4. NBAA Tanzania and Insititute of Internal Auditors (IIA) Tanzania inatutambua ISACA professional (CISA inclusive) kama professional Certification na huwa tunafanya kazi in collaboration.

Kwa Tanzania, kuna jitihada za makusudi ambazo ISACA Tanzania Chapter inafanya kwa ajili ya kuwa na Governing board ama regulatory board kwa ajili ya kuwatambua IT Auditors na kuwafanyia regulation kuhakikisha standards and code of conduct are followed according to Professional code of ethics provided by ISACA international , kama ambavyo Tanzania tuna NBAA kama board inayowatambua Wahasibu. Na kuna proposal inatengenezwa kupelekwa serikalini kuhakikisha kuwa IT Audit scheme of service inawekwa kwenye nyanja mbali mbali na carrier path inakuwa recognised. Soon tutakuwa na Regulatory Authority inayowatambua IT Auditor. \
For reference hata ukienda CBE..Chuo cha usimamizi wa Biashara inatengeneza mitaala kwa ajili ya IT Auditors na kuna baadhi ya Universities in Tanzania are thinking of including IT audit as one of their courses.

Na ukiangalia Mkaguzi mkuu wa serikali (kwa wakati huo Mr. Utoh) aliona potential ya IT Auditors ndo maana kuanzia mwaka jana aliamua kubadilisha focus kuwasomesha auditors wake CISA badala ya CPA. kwani kaangalia mbali kuona jinsi ambavyo most organisation depends on IT and we are heading towards an automated environments, ukiwa financial auditors kuna areas utakuwa unazimis kwa ajili ya ku perform proper IT Audit.na tulifundisha auditors 26 na katika hao almost nusu walifaulu CISA certification baada ya kufanya mtihani wa June 2014.
Hata Mabenki na Telecom Company wanahitaji IT Auditors with CISA certification, BOT, TANESCO, National Audit Office, EWURA, TRA sasahivi wana kitengo kabisa cha IT Auditors, just few to mention.

Its a certification that is coming up in Tanzania na kuna room kubwa ya kufanya consultancy provided you have knowldege and skills to perform that according to ISACA profesional code of ethics and standards/assurance tools.

[mzee wa ndonga]

Dear esc343:
Its good if you have a very good IT backgound, i might help a lot as as long as you have CCNA am sure CISA will fit you very much.
From my professional experience as a CCNA holder you covered a lot of things especially controls and security part of it on how to protect your network from perpetrators.
You will find CISA very useful as it covers issues of controls, protection of information assets, issues of governance (How an organisation can align IT to achieve business goals, issues like business continuity management and disaster recovery, issues of system design, development, implementation and maintenance. Actually CISA prepared you to be an IT Audit based on certain standards,procedures, laws and regulation and compliance with regulatory bodies. You will learn also issue of ISACA Professional code of Ethics.

So am sure will fit in without any problem..
