The CISM (Certified Information Security Manager) certification is solely management-focused, while CISSP is both technical and managerial and designed for security leaders who design, engineer, implement and manage the overall security posture of an organization. CISSP is more widely known than CISM, with over 140,000 CISSPs globally, compared with about 30,000 CISMs.
