DISA is the post qualification course by ICAI which only CA can do. Now, It is a important in case you want to do Bank Audits and also for Information systems Audit. For DISA Details check on ICAI site.

 

CISA is a course organized by Institute in US and it has more recognition worldwide than DISA. Also it is more tougher than.  For more details on CISA, check the following link.
