COURSE OVERVIEW

ISC2 Certified in Governance, Risk & Compliance (CGRC®) Certification Training Workshop

Learn how to maintain and authorize information systems within the NIST Risk Management Framework (RMF). You’ll leave this boot camp with the knowledge and domain expertise needed to pass the Certified in Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC) exam the first time you take it.

ENO Institute CGRC Workshop teaches you best practices, policies and procedures used to authorize and maintain information systems. You’ll learn how to use the RMF to support your organization’s operations while complying with legal and regulatory requirements.

The ISC2 Certified in Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC) certification is sought after by civilian, state and local governments, as well as system integrators supporting these organizations. You’ll leave with the knowledge and skills necessary to earn your ISC2 CGRC certification, which verifies your ability to set up the formal processes used to assess risk and establish security requirements.

CGRC objectives

This workshop prepares you to pass the ISC2 CGRC exam, which covers seven domain areas required for information system authorization practitioners:

  • Information security risk management program
  • Categorization of information systems
  • Selection of security controls
  • Implementation of security controls
  • Assessment of security controls
  • Authorization of information systems
  • Continuous monitoring

CUSTOMIZE IT
  • We can adapt this CGRC Certification Training course to your group’s background and work requirements at little to no added cost.
  • If you are familiar with some aspects of this CGRC Certification Training course, we can omit or shorten their discussion.
  • We can adjust the emphasis placed on the various topics or build the CGRC Certification Training around the mix of technologies of interest to you (including technologies other than those included in this outline).
  • If your background is nontechnical, we can exclude the more technical topics, include the topics that may be of special interest to you (e.g., as a manager or policymaker), and present the CGRC Certification Training course in a manner understandable to lay audiences.
AUDIENCE/TARGET GROUP
  • Information system security officers
  • Senior system managers
  • System administrators
  • IT and information security professionals who use the RMF
  • Anyone looking to learn more about the NIST-based information systems security authorization process
CLASS PREREQUISITES
  • In order to obtain the CGRC certification, you must have at least two years of paid work experience in at least one of the seven domains listed in the ISC2 CGRC Common Body of Knowledge (CBK). However, you can become an Associate of ISC2 by passing the exam without the required work experience.
