Which ISACA Certifications are there?

From ISACA's pages, checked against them on Oct 20, 2026. Order: live and active first, then those with no stated entry rule, then entry level first. ISACA doesn't state the level or validity for any of them.
Certification	Type	Price as shown	Who can take it	Status
Artificial Intelligence Fundamentals Certificate	ExamProctored online	$144 (non member); $120 (member)	Open to anyone	Active
Should you take it? Suits auditors, risk and IT staff who want an entry-level AI exam they can book at any time and sit remotely. Not for technical builders, as the two domains, AI concepts and AI implementations, stay at fundamentals level. The catch: ISACA doesn't say how long the certificate stays valid, so you can't tell if or when you'd need to resit it. Take ISACA Advanced in AI Security Management instead if you hold an active CISM or CISSP and your role is managing AI security.
ISACA Advanced in AI Audit (AAIA)	ExamOnline proctoring offered	$599 (non member); $459 (member)	Needs another credential	Active
Should you take it? Suits IT auditors with an active CISA who now audit AI systems and want a credential that says so. Not for anyone without CISA or another qualifying designation, since ISACA won't let you sit it without one. The catch: non-members pay US$599 against US$459 for members, so price up ISACA membership before you book. If your work is assessing AI risk rather than auditing it, ISACA's Advanced in AI Risk costs the same US$459 for members.
ISACA Advanced in AI Risk (AAIR)	ExamOnline proctoring offered	$599 (non member); $459 (member)	Needs another credential	Active
Should you take it? Suits risk professionals who already hold one of ISACA's qualifying designations and want to show they can assess AI risk. Not for newcomers to risk work: ISACA only admits candidates who hold a qualified designation from its list. The catch: in some regions the exam is test-center only, so you may have to travel rather than sit it remotely. Take ISACA's Advanced in AI Audit instead if you audit AI systems and already hold an active CISA certification.
ISACA Advanced in AI Security Management (AAISM)	ExamOnline proctoring offered	$599 (non member); $459 (member)	Needs another credential	Active
