ISMS responsible and CISM

Please note that the ISMS responsible is a role an organization can create, or incorporate into an existing role, to cover at least these activities:

• ensure that the ISMS conforms to the requirements of ISO 27001
• report on the performance of the ISMS to top management.

As for CISM (Certified Information Security Manager), it is a certification issued by ISACA which evidences that the certification holder has a certain set of knowledge and experience on information security management, which goes beyond the requirements related to ISO 27001.
