Fundamentals

COBIT 2019 Foundation
Validates a baseline understanding of the COBIT 2019 framework — governance and management objectives, performance management, design factors, and the COBIT goals cascade.

Information Technology Associate
Entry-level credential built from five subject modules — Computing Fundamentals, Networks and Infrastructure, Cybersecurity Fundamentals, Software Development, and Data Science Fundamentals — designed to validate broad foundational IT knowledge.

Internet of Things Fundamentals
Provides foundational knowledge of IoT architectures, communication protocols, security controls, and lifecycle management.
Associate

Cloud Auditing Knowledge
The CCAK certificate, jointly developed by ISACA and the Cloud Security Alliance, validates expertise in auditing cloud computing systems. It covers cloud governance, cloud compliance, the CSA STAR program, the Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM), CAIQ, and the unique audit considerations for IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS environments.

Cloud Fundamentals
The Cloud Fundamentals Certificate validates entry-level understanding of cloud computing concepts, service and deployment models, the shared responsibility model, core security and governance considerations, and major-provider service categories.

Computing Fundamentals
The Computing Fundamentals Certificate covers the foundational concepts of computer hardware, operating systems, file systems, processes, virtualization, command-line literacy, and basic computing security — at the conceptual depth needed by anyone working in IT, audit, or technology-adjacent business roles.

Cybersecurity Fundamentals
The Cybersecurity Fundamentals Certificate is ISACA's entry-level credential covering the core concepts and terminology of cybersecurity. It validates baseline understanding of cybersecurity principles, threats and vulnerabilities, controls, and incident response without requiring hands-on practitioner experience.

Data Science Fundamentals
The Data Science Fundamentals Certificate covers the foundational concepts of data science: the data lifecycle, statistics, machine learning at conceptual depth, data engineering basics, visualization, and the governance considerations specific to data products. Targeted at conceptual depth for non-practitioners.

Generative AI Fundamentals
The ISACA AI Fundamentals Certificate covers the foundational concepts of artificial intelligence as they apply to enterprise risk, audit, security, and governance. It is the entry-level cousin of the AAIA / AAIR / AAISM advanced certificates and validates understanding of AI systems, lifecycle, common risks, and governance concepts at a conceptual depth.

IT Audit Fundamentals
The IT Audit Fundamentals Certificate covers the core concepts of IT audit at an entry level. It is the conceptual on-ramp to CISA and validates understanding of audit principles, IT general controls, application controls, sampling, evidence, and the audit lifecycle.

IT Risk Fundamentals
The IT Risk Fundamentals Certificate covers the foundational concepts of IT risk management: risk taxonomy, frameworks (ISO 31000, COSO ERM, NIST RMF), risk identification, assessment, treatment, monitoring, and the alignment of IT risk with enterprise risk management.

Networks and Infrastructure Fundamentals
The Networks and Infrastructure Fundamentals Certificate covers the foundational concepts of computer networks, infrastructure components, IP addressing and routing, DNS, network services, and core security considerations — at the conceptual depth needed to participate in IT and audit conversations.

Software Development Fundamentals
The Software Development Fundamentals Certificate covers the foundational concepts of how software is built: programming concepts, version control, the SDLC, testing, DevOps and CI/CD, secure coding, and how to read and discuss code at a conceptual level — without requiring practical coding experience.
