It feels weird writing a review for a book I studied to pass the CISM exam. I read it though, so I'm adding it to my read list. I suppose the content is good. If you are working in the Risk/Security management field you are going to see a lot of stuff you already know. But confirmation that you are doing the right things can be good, right?

If you read the manual twice and solve the Q&A diligently, you don't need any other resource for passing the CISM exam.
I wrote a detailed review and preparation strategy which can be accessed by clicking here: https://bit.ly/2NZmE99

Gives a good knowledge of CISM certification. Helps a lot if u want to certify yourself (if you don't know anything about the IS field. But remember things as Isaca way.... common work as an Information Security Manager may differ a lot and then the test is hard... like for me :D

I found this to be quite a dense read so took it in small manageable chunks for the content to assimilate in my head.

The structure of some sections didn't work for me and I found aspects quite repetitive or the order was back to front (e.g. in the BCP section in domain 4). That said, it gives a thorough overall grounding as to the activities an ISM is involved in and needs to be consider whilst performing their daily role, whether working for a large or SME.

The recommended reading lists are also particularly helpful to help reinforce key concepts.

I'm sure I will use it as a reference book in the future.

Material was overcomplicated for the test and the organization wasn't the best. I felt like they could have conveyed they same amount of information in half the pages. Still though, if you can get through it all you will pass the exam.

Good book, can be summarized to less pages as there are a lot of stuffing and paragraphs that can be removed (unneeded).
CISM depends more on your security sense and how to handle security issues than reading this manual as it will not give you this experience.
