How to Proctor a CISA Exam Online

ISACA's CISA exam can be taken remotely through PSI's online proctoring platform, so the direct answer is candidates run a system check, verify identity on camera, and sit the exam under continuous PSI live monitoring instead of visiting a test center.

What This Exam Requires

Candidates need a private testing space, a working webcam and mic, and a completed PSI video diagnostic check before their scheduled window.
