4. Preparation

In preparation for every class please read the chapter we're planning to cover and have your questions ready. Our mentors will provide an in-depth discussion of each domain, but you will need to put the majority of your effort into studying outside the training program. In every class we will have a mentor covering a different domain and providing their own style of teaching. Some will focus on your questions, some on your test taking skills but all will do their best to provide you with guidance to pass your exam

The Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control™ certification (CRISC™, pronounced "see-risk") is intended to recognize a wide range of professionals for their knowledge of enterprise risk and their ability to design, implement, monitor, and maintain IS controls to mitigate such risk. It is particularly designed for IT professionals who have hands-on experience with risk identification, assessment, and evaluation; risk response; risk monitoring; IS control design and implementation; and IS control monitoring and maintenance. The CRISC designation will not only certify professionals who have knowledge and experience identifying and evaluating entity-specific risk, but also aid them in helping enterprises accomplish business objectives by designing, implementing, monitoring and maintaining risk-based, efficient and effective IS controls.
