All three AAISM exam domains, on your schedule
The course works straight through ISACA’s AAISM exam content outline: three job-practice domains, each weighted as it is on the exam. You cover every area the 90-question exam tests, in whatever order and at whatever pace suits you.
AI Governance and Program Management
31%- Stakeholder considerations, industry frameworks, and regulatory requirements for AI security.
- AI strategies, policies, and procedures, plus AI asset and data life cycle management.
- AI security program development and management, business continuity, and incident response.
AI Risk Management

- Data management controls, plus privacy, ethical, trust, and safety controls.
- Security controls and monitoring tailored to AI systems.
Domains and weightings follow ISACA’s official AAISM exam content outline. The AAISM exam is 90 questions in 2.5 hours, scored 200 to 800, with 450 to pass.

Self-paced AAISM, answered
What is included in the self-paced AAISM course?
Four things: ISACA’s official AAISM Online Review Course (dynamic modules with integrated video, text and interactive elements, roughly 11 hours of seat time, covering all three exam domains), the official AAISM Review Manual eBook, the Questions, Answers & Explanations database, and your AAISM exam registration. The live instruction, the free retake and the year of ISACA membership are boot camp only.
How long do I have access?
Six months from the date of purchase, delivered through the Learning Access tab of your MyISACA dashboard. Your progress saves between logins, so you can stop and pick up where you left off.
Is the ISACA exam registration included?
Yes. Your AAISM exam registration is included in the $1,350 price, along with ISACA’s official Online Review Course, the Review Manual eBook and the question database. You sit the exam whenever you decide you are ready.
Do I earn CPE for the self-paced AAISM course?
Yes. Completing the AAISM Online Review Course earns 11 CPE, which count toward the ISACA certifications you already hold. You self-report them. This is ISACA CPE and is separate from NASBA CPE, which applies to our third-party risk management training.
Is this ISACA’s own courseware?
Yes. Risk Tide is an ISACA Accredited Training Organization, so the self-paced course is ISACA’s official AAISM Online Review Course, with ISACA’s own Review Manual, question database and exam registration bundled in. You are not buying a third-party rewrite of the exam content.
Why is this cheaper than buying from ISACA directly?
As an Accredited Training Organization we set our own price on the same official ISACA course. The four ISACA items in this package list at $1,602 separately without a membership, and ISACA’s own bundle of them is $1,360.
What are the requirements for AAISM certification?
AAISM requires an active CISM or CISSP certification. If you do not hold one of those yet, start there before enrolling in AAISM prep.
What does the AAISM exam look like?
The exam is 90 questions, scored on a 200 to 800 scale, with 450 required to pass. Your voucher is included, and you schedule the exam with ISACA when you feel ready.
Who is the self-paced AAISM course for?
Mid-to-senior cybersecurity, risk, and governance professionals who need to manage enterprise AI initiatives. It suits you if you are self-disciplined and would rather study around your job than block out 2 consecutive days.
How long is the exam voucher valid?
Six months. Since 16 April 2026 ISACA applies a six-month window across exams, question databases and online review courses: the product must be redeemed within six months of purchase, and once redeemed you have six months to use it, including scheduling and sitting the exam. Tell us if your timeline is longer so we can advise before you buy rather than after.
Can I get a refund?
No. ISACA’s policy on online learning is that access is granted immediately on purchase, so all purchases of the online course are final and no refunds or exchanges are provided. If you are unsure whether self-paced or the live boot camp suits you, ask us before you buy rather than after.
Should I choose self-paced or the live boot camp?
Self-paced is the lower-cost, start-today option, it covers the same exam domains, and you get the same ISACA study materials and exam registration either way. What the boot camp adds is live instruction, a free retake and a year of ISACA membership. The live 2-day boot camp is better if you want a live instructor and a fixed timeline to hold you to. Both are delivered by Risk Tide as an ISACA Accredited Training Organization.
