Dear Mr. Rafel Rafi Ivgi, CRISC,
Congratulations! The hard part is over! Our records indicate that you passed the CISM exam on 12 June 2011. Your
next step is to apply for certification. Obtaining the CISM designation is one way you can differentiate yourself in
this challenging job market. The CISM designation demonstrates proven experience and enhances credibility and
recognition. As a globally recognized mark of excellence for individuals who manage, design and oversee an
enterprise’s information security, many enterprises increasingly recognize, require and expect their security
professionals to hold this certification.
Effective with applications received on 1 June 2012 and forward, an application fee of USD $50 will be required to
apply for certification. By applying now, you can save on the application fee.
Apply for certification in 3 easy steps:
1. Download the application at www.isaca.org/cismapp.
2. Complete the application.
3. Please collect and submit the application documentation in one package.
Since you have passed the exam, you are encouraged to apply for certification today and become certified. Exam
passers do have five years to (earn the required experience and) apply for certification. Your five year period to
apply for certification will end 31 December 2016. Please note that you are not certified and cannot use the CISM
title designation until your completed application is received and approved by ISACA’s CISM Certification Committee.
If you have any questions or need assistance completing the application form, the ISACA certification department
will be happy to assist you. You can reach the certification department at +1.847.660.5660 or by email at
certification@isaca.org.
We look forward to your joining the 16,000+ who have already earned the CISM designation.
Sincerely,
ISACA Certification Department
ISACA: Trust in, and value from, information systems
