Information Systems Audit and Control Association (ISACA) is the professional body in the IS Auditing area for years. ISACA offers certificates like CISA (Certified Information Systems Auditor), CISM (Certified Information Security Manager), etc. which has helped individuals worldwide to advance their careers in IS auditing. --- Information systems (IS) are important assets to business organizations and are ubiquitous in our daily lives. With the latest IS technologies emerging, such as Big Data, FinTech, Virtual Banks, there are more concerns from the public on how organizations maintain systems’ integrity, such as data privacy, information security, the compliance to the government regulations.

I found the course to be fairly outdated, compared to more recent security risks. The content was good, but not as advanced as I had expected (I'm preparing for the CISA certification test.) I will need to take additional, more advanced course for that. But this was a good introduction course for people who are not familiar with auditing. I've been in IT for 40 years with lots of growth over that time, so the course was a good refresher but not as in depth as I'm looking for. The content was presented well and the online technology worked fine (viewing videos, taking the quizzes, etc.) There were also a few external resource materials linked to from the course, which are no longer available (the 3rd party providers had removed the content, or you now had to register on a website to access the content.) This course is not up to date with modern DevOps SDLC processes, so the course guidance is not in alignment with this practice. Also with the vast adoption of SAAS systems and cloud computing platforms, updated content should put more focus on new controls to address those risks, in addition to the increased risks of various approaches of hacking (phishing, malware, ransomware) and authentication requirements for MFA/2SV/2FA or even Passkeys, which is still a fairly new and developing approach. All in all, I think it's time to revamp and update this course.

Course was good but the videos were too long, therefore, the balance between videos and readings could have been better. For e.g., I have done other courses on Coursera and other platforms where the videos were more exciting, interactive and to the point whilst sharing a lot of information. The reading materials then complemented the videos, allowing for a greater deep dive depending on your understanding, allowing you to skip over topics you are already familiar with. With a course like this, interactive exercises would have been good to reinforce knowledge and/or a few hands-on exercises to ensure practicality (this could be done, while maintaining the time of the overall course).

Honestly, a little disappointed. If you consider courses like CISA which are very exhaustive, I expected this to be on those lines at a less deeper level. It covers general SDLC related things quite a bit, which most software folks would know already. Few things to learn, though.

The course covers very basic theoretical concepts. No practical application or real life case studies are mentioned. If you want to get a basic idea of IS Audit, this is enough.
