Our free ISACA practice test PDF lets you study offline, revisit challenging questions, and build exam-day confidence at your own pace.

Whether you are targeting the CISA's 150-question audit process exam, the CISM's security governance domains, the CRISC's risk assessment methodology, or CGEIT's enterprise IT governance scope, this printable PDF covers the core concepts across all four certifications.

What the ISACA Exams Cover

CISA — Certified Information Systems Auditor

CISA is ISACA's most widely held certification, focusing on IS audit, control, and assurance. The exam spans five domains: Information System Auditing Process (audit standards, risk-based audit planning, evidence types, control testing, and audit reporting); Governance and Management of IT (COBIT 2019, ISO/IEC 38500, IT strategy alignment, organizational structures, and HR management of IT); Information Systems Acquisition, Development and Implementation (business case development, SDLC phases, change management, testing types including unit, integration, regression, and UAT); Information Systems Operations and Business Resilience (IT operations, incident management, BCP/DRP concepts, RTO vs. RPO, BIA, and backup strategies); and Protection of Information Assets (access controls, network security, cryptography, data classification, and incident response).

CISM — Certified Information Security Manager

CISM targets information security management rather than technical auditing. Its four domains cover Information Security Governance, Information Risk Management, Information Security Program Development and Management, and Information Security Incident Management. CISM holders are typically security managers and consultants responsible for enterprise-wide security strategy.

CRISC — Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control

CRISC focuses on IT risk identification, assessment, response, and monitoring. The four domains test IT Risk Identification (risk scenarios, threat modeling, risk appetite), IT Risk Assessment (qualitative vs. quantitative methodologies, risk registers), Risk Response and Mitigation (control selection, residual risk, cost-benefit analysis), and Risk and Control Monitoring and Reporting.

Key Cross-Exam Concepts

Across all ISACA exams, candidates should understand COBIT 2019 governance vs. management domain separation, control types (preventive, detective, corrective), audit evidence standards, IS audit independence requirements, and risk assessment frameworks. Strong familiarity with the difference between inherent risk, control risk, and residual risk is essential for all four certifications.
