This course is designed to equip professionals with the knowledge and skills required to apply risk management frameworks, ensure compliance with security and privacy standards, and manage governance effectively.

The course focuses on:

  • Establishing governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) strategies.
  • Implementing and managing security and privacy controls.
  • Ensuring alignment with regulatory frameworks and organizational goals.


Who Should Enrol?

The course is ideal for:

  • IT and Cybersecurity Professionals involved in risk management or compliance.

  • Auditors, Risk Managers, and Compliance Officers in charge of organizational security programs.

Prerequisites
:

The prerequisites to join the CGRC (Certified in Governance, Risk, and Compliance) course are generally minimal but depend on your goals and background. Below are the details based on ISC2’s official requirements and general guidance:

  1. Professional Experience (Recommended for Certification):
    • ISC2 Requirement: To obtain the CGRC certification, you need at least 2 years of cumulative work experience in one or more of the seven CGRC domains.
    • If you do not meet this experience requirement, you can still take the CGRC exam and become an Associate of ISC2. Once you gain the necessary experience, you can earn the full CGRC certification.
  1. Foundational Knowledge (Recommended for Courses): While not mandatory, it’s beneficial to have:
    • Basic understanding of IT systems (e.g., networks, databases, or security concepts).

    • Knowledge of organizational processes (especially for those involved in auditing or compliance roles).


Educational Prerequisites:

  • No formal degree is required to join a CGRC course. However:
  • A degree or background in IT, cybersecurity, or business management can be helpful.
