About the Book
For nearly five decades, the Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) credential has defined the audit profession, and in 2026 it matters more than ever. Today’s exam goes far beyond the fundamentals veterans remember. It tests cloud security, AI risk, zero trust, supply chain attacks, and data governance alongside the core audit and control concepts that have always been at the heart of the discipline. Passing requires more than technical knowledge. It requires you to think like a senior auditor and speak ISACA’s precise language.
CISA Exam Prep 2026 is a complete study system built around ISACA’s current five-domain job practice: Information Systems Auditing Process, Governance and Management of IT, Information Systems Acquisition, Development and Implementation, Information Systems Operations and Business Resilience, and Protection of Information Assets. Each domain chapter follows a consistent, proven structure, moving from conceptual foundations to a topic-by-topic review, with real examples, ISACA-style practice questions with full explanations, and a self-assessment rubric that pinpoints your weak areas before you move on.
The book helps you avoid the two most common mistakes candidates make: drowning in disconnected facts, or treating the CISA as a general IT exam. Instead, you will learn to read a business scenario, identify the underlying control principle, apply the right framework, and choose the answer a seasoned auditor would recommend.
Beyond the domains, you get two full-length practice exams, a dedicated chapter on test-taking strategy, guidance for exam day and certification afterward, sample study plans, a quick-reference glossary, an acronyms list, the top 50 mistakes candidates make, in-depth reviews of critical topics, a vendor risk assessment template, and a final set of 50 practice questions. Whether you are a first-time candidate, a retake candidate who came close, or an experienced practitioner formalizing your credentials, this is the structured path to passing in 2026.
