3. Risk and Information Systems Control: Focused on preparing you for the ISACA Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control (CRISC) certification, this competency unit emphasises a proactive risk management approach rooted in Agile methodology. You will learn to enhance your organisation’s resilience, deliver tangible stakeholder value, and streamline risk management practices across the enterprise.
