Before Class

Why It Matters

Starting your CGRC journey with thorough preparation enhances your learning experience and sets you up for success. Engaging with our pre-course materials and connecting with expert instructors before the class helps you familiarize yourself with key concepts, identify areas for improvement, and arrive ready to fully immerse yourself in the intensive training.

Day 1: Introduction to Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) & RMF
AM
Morning
  • Course Introduction & ISC2 CGRC Exam Overview
  • Risk Management Framework (RMF) Overview (NIST 800-37)
  • Regulatory & Compliance Requirements (FISMA, FedRAMP, HIPAA, GDPR, ISO 27001)
  • Understanding Roles & Responsibilities in GRC (Senior Leadership, AO, ISSO, etc.)
PM
Afternoon
  • Lab: Identifying Key Regulations & Mapping Them to RMF
  • Lab: Analyzing Risk Categories Using NIST 800-60 & FIPS 199
  • Case Study: How Compliance Gaps Led to a Data Breach

Why It Matters

Understanding the foundations of GRC and the Risk Management Framework (RMF) is essential for security professionals managing compliance and risk within government and regulated industries. A clear grasp of regulations such as FISMA, FedRAMP, HIPAA, GDPR, and ISO 27001 ensures professionals can align cybersecurity policies with legal and industry requirements. Additionally, identifying key roles (e.g., AO, ISSO) clarifies responsibilities in the risk management process. Real-world case studies highlight the consequences of compliance failures, reinforcing the importance of strong governance.

Day 2: RMF Step 1 & Step 2 – Categorization & Security Control Selection
AM
Morning
  • System Categorization & Impact Analysis (FIPS 199, NIST 800-60)
  • Selecting Security Controls (NIST 800-53 Rev. 5 & Tailoring Controls)
  • Inherited & Compensating Controls – Understanding Control Families
PM
Afternoon
  • Lab: Categorizing an Information System Based on Risk Impact
  • Lab: Selecting & Tailoring Security Controls for a Government System
  • Case Study: Misclassification of Systems & Its Security Impact

Why It Matters

Properly categorizing systems and selecting security controls is critical to ensuring the right level of protection based on risk. Misclassification can lead to undersecured or overengineered systems, both of which impact efficiency and security. Understanding how to inherit and tailor controls using NIST 800-53 Rev. 5 prevents unnecessary redundancy while meeting compliance requirements. Case studies of past misclassifications emphasize the importance of getting these steps right from the beginning.

Day 3: RMF Step 3 & Step 4 – Implementing & Assessing Security Controls
AM
Morning
  • Implementing Security Controls – On-Prem, Cloud, & Hybrid Environments
  • Security Control Assessment (NIST 800-53A) & Risk Assessments
  • Security Documentation & System Security Plans (SSP)
PM
Afternoon
  • Lab: Implementing Security Controls in a Cloud-Based System
  • Lab: Conducting a Security Control Assessment Using NIST 800-53A
  • Case Study: Real-World Failures in Security Control Implementation

Why It Matters

Even well-planned security controls are ineffective if they are not properly implemented and assessed. This day focuses on real-world application, teaching how to deploy security controls across on-prem, cloud, and hybrid environments. Security control assessments based on NIST 800-53A ensure that organizations can validate their security posture and address weaknesses before threats materialize. Examining past failures in implementation underscores the risks of improper execution.

Day 4: RMF Step 5 & Step 6 – Authorization & Continuous Monitoring
AM
Morning
  • The Authorization Process (ATO, POA&M, Risk Acceptance)
  • Creating an Authorization Package & Security Status Reporting
  • Continuous Monitoring & Ongoing Risk Management (RMF Step 6)
PM
Afternoon
  • Lab: Preparing an Authorization Package for an Information System
  • Lab: Implementing a Continuous Monitoring Plan with SIEM Tools
  • Case Study: ATO Delays & Their Organizational Impact
  • Exam Review: Key Topics, Sample Questions, & Test-Taking Strategies

Why It Matters

Achieving an Authorization to Operate (ATO) is a critical milestone for government systems, but delays and errors in this process can lead to security risks or operational bottlenecks. Understanding how to create authorization packages and implement continuous monitoring helps maintain security compliance over time. Organizations that fail to continuously monitor their systems often experience compliance drift, increasing their risk of cyber incidents. Case studies illustrate the impact of ATO delays and ongoing risk management failures.

Day 5: Advanced Exam Preparation & Practical GRC Applications
AM
Morning
  • Comprehensive Review of RMF Steps 1-6
  • Security Control Assessment Strategies
  • Advanced Risk Management Concepts
  • Policy & Governance in Action
  • Case Study: A Full RMF Lifecycle in a Government Organization
PM
Afternoon
  • Practice Exam Walkthrough
  • Scenario-Based Question Breakdown
  • Exam Strategy & Time Management
  • Final Q&A

Why It Matters

Passing the CGRC exam requires more than just theoretical knowledge—it demands practical understanding and strategic test-taking skills. This review session reinforces critical RMF concepts, security control assessment strategies, and real-world applications of risk management. The practice exam walkthrough and scenario-based question breakdown help candidates feel confident and prepared for exam day.
