Certified in the Governance of Enterprise IT®
(CGEIT®) Fact Sheet

www.isaca.org/cgeit

Background

Introduced in 2007, the CGEIT designation is the third certification offered by ISACA. Designed for professionals who manage, provide advisory and/or assurance services and/or who otherwise support the governance of an enterprise’s IT and who wish to be recognized for their IT governance-related experience and knowledge, CGEIT is based on the IT Governance Institute’s (ITGI’s) intellectual property and the input of subject matter experts around the world.

CGEIT focuses on:

*                          IT governance frameworks

*                          Strategic alignment

*                          Resource management

*                          Risk management

*                          Performance measurement

*                          Value delivery

To earn the CGEIT designation, candidates are required to:

*                          Prove at least five years of experience supporting the governance of an enterprise’s information technology. This experience can be achieved entirely through IT governance experience, or through a combination of IT governance experience and management experience.                     

The first CGEIT exam will be administered in December 2008. A grandfathering program through which professionals who are highly experienced in the governance of IT can apply for the CGEIT certification without taking the exam is available. More information can be viewed at www.isaca.org/cgeit and the grandfathering application can be found at www.isaca.org/cgeitgfapp.

In the News

"[The CGEIT certification] sets the path towards building the competency in IT governance," says [Bob] Frelinger, adding that professionals in finance and other fields may also seek CGEIT certification. "We're hoping it's not just for IT folks. Certainly there is a big business contribution to IT in an organization."
