ISACA is responding to market demand by introducing a new risk-related certification. The Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control (CRISC) designation is for IT professionals who identify and manage risks through the development, implementation and maintenance of information systems (IS) controls. These professionals help enterprises accomplish business objectives such as effective and efficient operations, reliable financial reporting, and compliance with regulatory requirements.
A grandfathering program, through which experienced professionals can earn the certification without passing an exam, will open in April. The first CRISC exam will be administered in 2011.
ISACA established CRISC (pronounced “see risk”) to recognize IT professionals with skills and abilities related to:
· Risk identification, assessment and evaluation
· Risk response
· Risk monitoring
· IS control design and implementation
· IS control monitoring and maintenance “The CRISC designation will demonstrate to employers that the certification holder is able to identify and evaluate the risks unique to a specific organization and help the enterprise accomplish its business objectives by designing, implementing, monitoring and maintaining risk-based, efficient and effective IS controls,” said Urs Fischer, chair of ISACA’s CRISC Task Force. “We conducted an extensive amount of research globally and found that enterprises are becoming more risk-aware and are looking to identify professionals who possess the skills to help them protect their assets and enhance their businesses. CRISC fills a gap that currently exists in the marketplace.” Additional information about the CRISC certification is available at www.isaca.org/crisc. |

In a 200 page book about mankind's evolution, the last two hundred years would span a quarter of a page. Our brain's evolution has been outmatched by the technological advances it itself is creating, landing us in an environment which we cannot comprehend. The media fill us with irrational scare stories. Politicians often use fear to push an agenda. Even when we consciously disbelieve their stories, they mark our thoughts and affect our decisions.
Research shows that you're likely to be underestimating your real risks. You're also likely to be spending too much attention on risks which matter little to your business. Justin Vassallo will analyse the findings of scientific research to discover the complex methods by which our brain takes risk judgements, and enable us to unravel them.
Justin Vassallo is the Head of IT at Ixaris Systems and a freelance security consultant. Working on IT security for over 7 years, Justin has experience with a variety of companies, from family owned businesses to multi-nationals. He can be contacted at
