ISACA Opens Grandfathering Program for New CRISC Certification
April 2010 by Emmanuelle Lamandé
Professionals with eight or more years of IT and business experience can now apply for ISACA’s new Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control (CRISC) designation—without taking an exam—under a grandfathering program.
The program, which opened today, is designed to recognize professionals who are highly experienced in the following domains:
– Risk identification, assessment and evaluation
– Risk response
– Risk monitoring
– IS control design and implementation
– IS control monitoring and maintenance
To earn the CRISC (pronounced “see risk”) credential through the grandfathering program, candidates must prove that at least six of the eight years of experience included specific experience performing the responsibilities across all of the five domains. They must also prove at least three years of experience in risk identification, assessment, evaluation, response and monitoring. Candidates must complete an application at www.isaca.org/criscgrandfathering and submit an application fee.
The grandfathering program will run from April 2010 through March 2011. The first CRISC exam will be administered in 2011.
