2019 Risk Career Tool Task Force

After the successful launch of an audit career tool, ISACA plans to create a similar career development tool for Risk Professionals. The Risk Career Task Force will participate in the obtaining Risk career information such as required skills, typical roles held, Risk Certifications, and potential career path to inform ISACA’s development of a Risk Career Tool.

This volunteer opportunity is expected to last approximately 4-6 weeks with weekly one-hour group teleconferences and some independent research to be done between meetings.

Assignments will be divided among the task force members to research between meetings and then discuss as a group during the weekly teleconference. Research could involve gathering and validating information on typical certifications a risk professional would have, the career progression of a risk professional, necessary skill sets, future career paths outside of risk, etc.

All input will be provided to the ISACA Product Management team who will be responsible for the creation of the tool.
