Why study this course

Certified in Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC) cybersecurity professionals have the knowledge and skills to integrate governance, performance management, risk management and regulatory compliance within the organisation while helping the organisation achieve objectives, address uncertainty and act with integrity.

CGRC professionals align IT goals with organisational objectives as they manage cyber risks and achieve regulatory needs. They utilise frameworks to integrate security and privacy with the organisation’s overall objectives, allowing stakeholders to make informed decisions regarding data security and privacy risks.

CGRC is particularly well-suited for IT, information security and cybersecurity practitioners who manage risk in information systems. It is also recommended for any practitioner involved in authorising and maintaining information systems.

Please note: The exam is not included in the course fee but can be purchased separately. Please contact us for a quote.
