What’s the difference between CRISC and CISA?

CRISC and CISA are globally recognised, highly regarded certifications developed by ISACA. While CRISC is designed for professionals who manage and mitigate IT-related risks, CISA (Certified Information Systems Auditor) targets professionals who audit and control IT systems to ensure proper governance and regulatory compliance.

In terms of career path, CISA is primarily suited for IT Auditors, compliance professionals, and those tasked with ensuring that IT and business systems meet regulatory standards, while CRISC is designed for Risk Management professionals often involved in risk governance, risk mitigation, and control design.

You'll sit the following exam at the Firebrand Training Centre, covered by your Certification Guarantee:

• CRISC Exam
• Duration: 4 hours
• Number of questions: 150 multiple choice

• Certification Review Manual
• 12 month access to official ISACA Resources including ISACA Exam Practice Questions, Answers and Explanations

This CRISC training course is designed for IT and business professionals who are engaged at an operational or management level to mitigate risk. It is therefore an advantage to have knowledge of business and technology risk management, and the implementation of information systems controls. You should also be familiar with general IT and business terminology.

In order to get your CRISC certification, you must:

• pass the CRISC exam
• adhere to the Code of Professional Ethics
• adhere to the Continuing Professional Education (CPE) Policy
• have at least three years of cumulative work experience performing the tasks of a CRISC professional across at least two of the four CRISC domains - of these two required domains, one must be in either Domain 1 or 2.

There are no experience waivers or substitutions allowed.

You may take the exam prior to meeting the requirements, but your CRISC designation is only awarded, when all requirements are met. Experience must have been gained within the 10-year period preceding the application date for certification or within five years from the date of initially passing the examination.

Retaking and passing the examination will be required if the application for certification is not submitted within five years from the passing date of the examination. All experience must be verified independently with employers.

Once a CRISC candidate has passed the CRISC certification exam and has met the work experience requirements, the final step is to complete and submit the CRISC Application for Certification.
