What is GRCSI?
GRCSI stands for Governance Risk Compliance Security
International. GRCSI is an international organization of
professionals whose goal is
to promote best practices in governance, risk
management, compliance and security through
education, certification, and accreditation.
What is GRCSI's mission?
GRCSI is comprised of individuals and
organizations related to one or more of the fields of governance,
risk management, compliance, and security. GRCSI offers a
series of professional certifications to accredit the
knowledge and experience of its members, and will be offering training programs, conferences, and seminars in the future.
Are there any GRCSI events?
In the future, GRCSI will organize conferences and
training events.
What certifications can be obtained?
Please see the certification page for more information.
How are the certifications available?
The Certified Risk Management Professional (CRMP)
certification and concentrations are available for
grandfathering applications as of September 2, 2009.
Grandfathering applications will be accepted until such time as the examination will be available in testing centres across the world. Once the examination is globally available, it will be required for all
candidates to achieve this certification.
What is grandfathering?
Grandfathering is the process via which a GRCSI member may
apply for a certification without having to pass the
certification examination. The application form will
require that applicants provide details and references for
their relevant experience that will demonstrate the
appropriate levels of knowledge and ability for the
certification board to approve an application.
What if someone doesn't meet the requirements for
grandfathering?
A GRCSI member who does not meet the requirements to become
a Certified Risk Management Professional (CRMP) may be
given the Associate Risk Management Professional (ARMP)
designation until they meet all of the requirements. For
more information about the certifications and designations
available from GRCSI, please see the certification page.
Will
grandfathering be available for the CRMP-F, CRMP-I, and
CRMP-O certification concentration?
At
present, the certification concentrations are only available by a certification board evaluation process. In order to
achieve a concentration certification, a CRMP must complete an additional application form, pass
a series of interviews with noted experts in the field, and demonstrate a true mastery of the respective concentration area in risk management.
Why isn't the CRME certification being grandfathered?
To become a CRME, an applicant must have already achieved two of the three concentrations (Finance, Information, Operations), must demonstrate knowledge and
understanding of all areas of the RMBoK from high-level
governance to practical risk mitigation, and pass a series of
interviews and peer reviews to assure that the applicant has the
requisite skills, knowledge, technique, and expertise. This process is complex and requires pre-requisites that are not practically feasible as part of the grandfathering program.
How may I become involved with GRCSI?
GRCSI has a number of boards and committees that promote
best practices in the industry, and further develop our
certification and accreditation programs. Please join our
discussion boards, mailing lists, or send an email to
info@grcsi.org for more information. |
