In this course, you will:

• Prepare for and pass the Certified Risk and Information System Controls (CRISC) exam
• Identify the universe of IT risk to contribute to the execution of the IT risk management strategy
• Analyze and evaluate risk to determine the likelihood and impact on business objectives
• Determine risk response options and evaluate their efficiency and effectiveness to manage risk
• Continuously monitor and report on IT risks and controls

  • 2.1: Analyze risk scenarios based on organizational criteria (e.g., organizational structure, policies, standards, technology, architecture, controls) to determine the likelihood and impact of an identified risk
  • 2.2: Identify the current state of existing controls and evaluate their effectiveness for IT risk mitigation
  • 2.3: Review the results of risk and control analysis to assess any gaps between current and desired states of the IT risk environment
  • 2.4: Ensure that risk ownership is assigned at the appropriate level to establish clear lines of accountability
  • 2.5: Communicate the results of risk assessments to senior management and appropriate stakeholders to enable risk-based decision making

• Domain 3: Risk Response and Mitigation
  • 3.1: Consult with risk owners to select and align recommended risk responses with business objectives and enable informed risk decisions
  • 3.2: Consult with, or assist, risk owners on the development of risk action plans to ensure that plans include key elements (e.g., response, cost, target date)
  • 3.3: Consult on the design and implementation or adjustment of mitigating controls to ensure that the risk is managed to an acceptable level
  • 3.4: Ensure that control ownership is assigned to establish clear lines of accountability
  • 3.5: Assist control owners in developing control procedures and documentation to enable efficient and effective control execution
  • 3.6: Update the risk register to reflect changes in risk and management’s risk response
  • 3.7: Validate that risk responses have been executed according to the risk action plans
• Domain 4: Risk and Control Monitoring and Reporting
  • 4.1: Define and establish key risk indicators (KRIs) and thresholds based on available data to enable monitoring of changes in risk
  • 4.2: Monitor and analyze key risk indicators (KRIs) to identify changes or trends in the IT risk profile
  • 4.3: Report on changes or trends related to the IT risk profile to assist management and relevant stakeholders in decision making
  • 4.4: Facilitate the identification of metrics and key performance indicators (KPIs) to enable the measurement of control performance
  • 4.5: Monitor and analyze key performance indicators (KPIs) to identify changes or trends related to the control environment and determine the efficiency and effectiveness of controls
  • 4.6: Review the control assessments results to determine the effectiveness of the control environment
  • 4.7: Report on the performance of changes to, or trends in the overall risk profile, and control environment to relevant stakeholders to enable decision making
