For

Right fit if you are.

  • ✓CIOs and deputy CIOs taking the governance portfolio.
  • ✓IT governance leads in regulated industries (banking, insurance, utilities, public sector).
  • ✓Big Four senior managers running governance reviews.
  • ✓Board members on technology or audit committees.

Honest call

NOT for. When to skip it.

We'd rather you keep your money than buy the wrong path.

  • ✗Hands-on IT managers without executive exposure. CISM or CRISC fit better.
  • ✗IS auditors looking for an audit credential. CISA stays the primary credential.
  • ✗Practitioners under five years of governance-level experience.
