To get the most out of this book
To get the most out of this book, I recommend that you start with the primer section of the book, which covers the fundamentals of GRC, CRISC practice areas, and the ISACA mindset. Familiarity with industry standards and frameworks, such as Control Objectives for Information and Related Technologies (COBIT), ISO 27001, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework, is also beneficial, but not required. Additionally, we recommend that you review the CRISC certification exam syllabus before diving into the core content of the book. This will help you understand the exam objectives and the topics that will be covered in the certification exam.
As you work through the book, we encourage you to take notes, complete the review exercises at the end of each chapter, and refer back to the relevant sections when necessary. I also recommend that you take the practice quizzes at the end of the book to test your knowledge and pay equal attention to the explanation for correct and incorrect answers. By following these recommendations, you will be able to maximize your learning experience and effectively prepare for the CRISC certification exam.
