Exam domains & agenda

Four days across all four CRISC exam domains

The boot camp works straight through ISACA’s CRISC exam content outline (updated November 2025): four job-practice domains, each weighted as it is on the exam. You leave having covered every area the 150-question exam tests.

01

Governance

26%
  • Organizational governance: strategy, structure, culture, and how the enterprise sets its risk appetite.
  • Risk governance: lines of defense, the risk profile, and embedding risk in decision making.
02

IT Risk Assessment

22%
  • Risk identification: threats, vulnerabilities, and emerging risk across the technology estate.
  • Risk analysis and evaluation: likelihood, impact, and comparing exposure against appetite.
03

Risk Response and Reporting

32%
  • Risk response: treatment options and the design and implementation of controls.
  • Monitoring and reporting: key risk indicators, dashboards, and communicating risk posture.
04

Information Technology and Security

20%
  • Information technology principles: the architecture and operations underneath the risk.
  • Information security principles: controls, frameworks, and how security events become enterprise risk.

Domains and weightings follow ISACA’s official CRISC exam content outline. The CRISC exam is 150 questions in 4 hours, scored 200 to 800, with 450 to pass.
