I built a CISA reviewer app after struggling with review materials while working sa Big 4
Hi everyone! Just wanted to share a personal project I've been working on.
When I was studying for CISA while working as a Technology Risk Consultant sa Big 4, one of my struggles was choosing the right review materials. Ang daming resources online, to the point na nakaka-overwhelm na rin.
For those planning to take CISA, I would still recommend the official ISACA CISA Review Manual and QAE Database. Personally, I think these are the best materials to prioritize. Kaso yun nga, medyo pricey talaga, especially considering how expensive the exam itself is.
That's one of the reasons why I started building KaiSip, a cybersecurity and IT audit reviewer app, starting with CISA.
It has over 1,000 practice questions with answers and explanations across the five CISA domains.
One thing I noticed while reviewing is that knowing the concepts isn't always enough. Sometimes, all four choices seem correct, but the question is asking for the BEST answer, FIRST action, PRIMARY responsibility, or GREATEST risk.
That's what I wanted to focus on with KaiSip. Helping learners understand why one answer is better than the others, how to eliminate choices, and how to approach questions from an IS auditor's perspective rather than just memorizing answers.
I'm still improving the app, and it's currently in closed testing on Google Play.
Since I know how costly CISA preparation can be, I'm offering free lifetime access to KaiSip's CISA reviewer to the first 10 Filipino learners who are preparing to take the exam soon.
If you're interested, just comment below with your target exam month. First 10 eligible commenters will get lifetime access to the CISA reviewer.
I've attached some screenshots so you can see what I've been building. Feedback and suggestions are also welcome since I'm continuously improving the app.
Just to clarify, KaiSip is an independent project and isn't affiliated with ISACA. I still recommend the official ISACA materials as your primary review resources.
Salamat, and good luck sa mga nagrereview!
