Are you preparing for the CRISC exam and feeling the pressure? Youāre not alone. With a first-time pass rate of just 50ā60%, this certification has a reputation for being tough.
But hereās what most candidates miss: CRISC isnāt just about memorizing controls or frameworks. Itās about thinking like a risk professional.
The key is mindset.
In this video, we break down why you will pass ā and how shifting your perspective can make all the difference when facing the exam
How to Get Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control
Getting certified as a Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control (CRISC) is a strategic move for anyone looking to bridge the gap between technical IT controls and enterprise risk management.
Managed by ISACA, the process involves four main stages: passing the exam, meeting experience requirements, applying for the credential, and maintaining it.
1. The CRISC Exam
The exam tests your knowledge across four updated domains. It is a 4-hour, 150-question multiple-choice test.
Domain
Weight
Key Focus Areas
Governance
26%
Strategy, structure, culture, and ethics.
IT Risk Assessment
20%
Identification, analysis, and evaluation of risks.
Risk Response & Reporting
32%
Mitigation strategies and communication of risk.
IT and Security
22%
Security principles and system control design.
Cost: $575 for ISACA members; $760 for non-members.
Passing Score: 450 (on a scale of 200ā800).
Study Tip: Use the official CRISC Review Manual and the Q&E (Questions, Answers & Explanations) Databaseāthese are the gold standard for preparation.

2. Work Experience Requirements
Unlike some other certifications, CRISC has no experience waivers (e.g., you can't swap a degree for years of work). To be certified, you must:
Have at least 3 years of professional work experience in IT risk management and information systems control.
Your experience must cover at least two of the four domains listed above (one of which must be Domain 1 or Domain 2).
This experience must be gained within the 10 years preceding your application or within 5 years after passing the exam.
3. The Application Process
Once you pass the exam, you have a 5-year window to apply for the official certification.
Verification: Youāll need a supervisor or manager to verify your experience via the ISACA application form.
Fee: There is a one-time $50 application processing fee.
Ethics: You must agree to abide by the ISACA Code of Professional Ethics.
4. Maintenance (CPEs)
To keep your "Active" status, you must participate in the Continuing Professional Education (CPE) program:
Earn a minimum of 20 CPE hours annually.
Earn a total of 120 CPE hours over a 3-year cycle.
Pay an annual maintenance fee ($45 for members, $85 for non-members).
Note: If you haven't hit your 3 years of experience yet, you can still take the exam! Youāll just hold the "exam passer" status until you finish your work requirements and submit your application.
