Certified in the Governance of Enterprise IT
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Certified in the Governance of Enterprise Information Technology (CGEIT) is an advanced certification created in 2007 by the Information Systems Audit and Control Association (ISACA). It is designed for experienced professionals, who can demonstrate 5 or more years experience, serving in a managing or advisory role focused on the governance and control of IT at an enterprise level. It also requires passing a 4-hour test, designed to evaluate an applicant's understanding of enterprise IT management.
ISACA has instituted a 'grandfathering' provision for this certification. During the period October, 2007 to October 31, 2008, ISACA is granting the CGEIT certification to extraordinarily qualified IT governance professionals via a review of experience and credentials; no test is required, but 8 years of experience is required, instead of the 5 years of experience required in conjunction with the exam, after the expiration of the grandfathering period.
