Prerequisites for the CRISC Course
One of the advantages of the CRISC certification path is that there are no formal prerequisites to enroll in the training or to sit for the CRISC exam. You do not need a specific prior certification or a minimum number of years of experience to take our course or to register for the exam. A basic understanding of information systems and security concepts is recommended for grasping the material, but the course starts with fundamentals of risk management to get everyone up to speed.
However, while anyone can take the CRISC exam, to become officially certified you will need to meet ISACA’s experience requirements. ISACA requires at least 3 years of cumulative work experience in the field of IT risk management and information systems control, covering at least two of the four CRISC domains . This experience must be obtained within the 10-year period prior to your certification application (or within 5 years after passing the exam). In practical terms, you can take and pass the CRISC exam now, and then you have up to five years to earn the required experience and apply for the certification.
In summary, no prior experience is required to learn and attempt the CRISC exam, but achieving the full certification will eventually require professional experience. Newcomers to the field are encouraged to pursue the certification—passing the exam is a huge accomplishment and you can accumulate experience afterwards to get certified. Our course will also provide guidance on how to build and document your experience as you work towards the certification.
Course Curriculum: Modules Covered in CRISC Training
Wiseman CyberSec’s CRISC training curriculum is carefully structured to cover all the domains and topics of the CRISC exam. The course is segmented into modules corresponding to the four CRISC domains defined by ISACA. Below is an overview of the major modules and topics you will study:
Domain 1: Governance
This module establishes the foundation of risk management within the context of corporate governance. You will learn about organizational governance structures, roles and responsibilities for risk management, and how to align IT risk strategies with business goals . Key topics include governance frameworks and standards (e.g. COBIT, COSO ERM), the Three Lines of Defense model,, risk appetite and risk tolerance, legal and regulatory compliance requirements, and ethical considerations in risk management. By the end of this domain, you’ll understand how effective governance sets the direction for risk management practices enterprise-wide.
Domain 2: IT Risk Assessment
In this module, you dive into identifying and assessing IT risks. You will discover how to pinpoint potential risk events and develop realistic risk scenarios that could impact the business. We cover threat modeling techniques to evaluate the threat landscape, and vulnerability analysis to find control gaps . You’ll learn how to evaluate risk by determining the likelihood and impact of identified risk scenarios, using qualitative and quantitative risk assessment methods. Topics include building and maintaining a risk register, performing Business Impact Analysis (BIA) to understand consequences of disruptions , and distinguishing between inherent risk, residual risk, and current risk levels. This domain equips you with a systematic approach to evaluate which risks matter most to the organization
Domain 3: Risk Response and Reporting
. By mastering this domain, you’ll be capable of not only responding to risks but also keeping the organization informed and prepared through robust reporting mechanisms. This domain focuses on what to do after risks are identified and assessed. You will learn to develop appropriate risk response strategies and implement controls to address risks. Key topics include risk response/treatment options (mitigate, accept, transfer, avoid), assigning risk ownership and accountability, and managing third-party (vendor) risks . A significant portion of this module is about designing and implementing effective controls: we discuss types of controls (preventive, detective, corrective), control standards and frameworks, and how to select or design controls to mitigate identified risks . You will also explore how to evaluate control effectiveness through testing and monitoring. Another critical aspect is risk and control monitoring and reporting – you’ll learn techniques to continuously monitor risk levels, track issues or incidents, and report on risk metrics. We cover developing risk treatment plans, and using indicators like KRIs (Key Risk Indicators), KPIs, and KCIs (Key Control Indicators) to communicate risk posture to stakeholders
Domain 4: Information Technology and Security
The final domain provides essential background in IT principles and security practices that inform effective risk management. This module ensures you have a holistic understanding of the IT environment in wh. You’ll see how these areas tie into risk (for example, how project management and change management can introduce or mitigate risk). We also cover Information Security principles, including core security concepts, frameworks (like ISO 27001, NIST), information security governance, data life cycle management, and data privacy/protection regulations . Emerging technologies and trends (cloud computing, AI, IoT, etc.) are discussed in terms of new risks and controls. This domain gives you the technology context to apply your risk management knowledge effectively and to communicate with technical and non-technical stakeholders about risk. ich risk management is performed. We cover Information Technology principles such as enterprise architecture, IT operations management, software development life cycle (SDLC), and enterprise resiliency/business continuity planning
Each module is delivered with detailed lectures, slide decks, and practical examples. We reinforce learning with quizzes and case studies at the end of each domain to ensure you grasp the key points. By covering these four domains, our curriculum provides 360-degree coverage of the CRISC exam topics, as well as a solid skillset that you can immediately apply in your role as a risk and information systems control professional.

Passing the exam is a big accomplishment, but to become fully certified, you must also meet ISACA’s experience requirement. This means accumulating at least 3 years of work experience in IT risk management and IS control, spanning at least two of the CRISC domains. Many professionals pursuing CRISC already have applicable experience in roles like risk analyst, IT auditor, or security manager. If you’re newer to the field, don’t worry – you have up to five years after passing the exam to earn the required experience . The experience can be gained before or after passing the exam (within a 10-year window). Wiseman CyberSec can advise you on how to plan your career steps or internships to get this experience.
Submit CRISC Certification Application
- Once you have passed the exam and met the experience criteria, the next step is to apply to ISACA for your certification. This involves filling out an application form and having your work experience verified by your employers or supervisors. You will also need to agree to the ISACA Code of Professional Ethics and pay a one-time application fee (USD $50). Wiseman CyberSec will provide guidance on the application process so you can smoothly navigate the paperwork. It’s important to submit your application within five years of passing the exam, otherwise you’d need to retake the exam.
Earn the CRISC Certification
Upon ISACA’s approval of your application, congratulations – you are now a CRISC-certified professional! You will receive your certificate and can begin using the CRISC designation after your name. This certification validates you as an expert in IT risk and control, joining a respected community of professionals.
Maintain Your Certification (Continuing Professional Education)
Certification is not a one-time event; it’s an ongoing commitment. To maintain your CRISC credential in good standing, you must earn Continuing Professional Education (CPE) credits. ISACA requires CRISC holders to earn 120 CPE hours every 3 years (with a minimum of 20 hours each year) to stay current. These can be earned through training, conferences, webinars, teaching, or contributions to the field. Additionally, an annual maintenance fee is required. Wiseman CyberSec assists our alumni by offering CPE opportunities (such as webinars and advanced courses) so you can easily meet these requirements and continue growing in your career.
