Beide gelten als Schwergewichte für erfahrene Security-Profis, doch sie zielen auf verschiedene Tätigkeiten: Der CISSP liegt schwerpunktmäßig beim Entwurf und Bau sicherer Systeme, der T.I.S.P. bei Steuerung, Bewertung und Governance im deutschen Normenrahmen.
AAIR oder PECB LAIRM? KI-Risiko als Aufbaustufe oder als eigener Nachweis
KI-Risikomanagement ist die jüngste Disziplin im Zertifizierungsmarkt, und ISACA und PECB besetzen sie mit grundverschiedenen Modellen: hier eine Aufbaustufe für Inhaber eines ISACA-Zertifikats, die noch in der Beta-Phase läuft, dort eine eigenständige, akkreditierte Lead-Zertifizierung entlang von EU AI Act und NIST AI RMF. Der Vergleich mit den Zahlen und dem Zugangsmodell.
AAISM oder PECB 42001 Lead Implementer? Programm steuern oder Managementsystem aufbauen
Beide besetzen das Management von KI-Sicherheit, aber aus verschiedenen Richtungen: Der AAISM erweitert ein CISM- oder CISSP-Profil um die Steuerung von KI-Risiken, der PECB 42001 Lead Implementer belegt den Aufbau eines KI-Managementsystems nach ISO/IEC 42001. Der Vergleich mit Zahlen, Zugang und Prüfungsformat.
