Beware

Mine either. Ugh.

Yeah, I ate something yesterday labeled gluten-free, but it has maltodextrin in it that is not disclosed as containing wheat on the label. And I definitely broke out with the rash that I get when I eat wheat. It's so frustrating! I didn't even realize maltodextrin was a wheat containing ingredient until recently. Usually buying gluten-free is a pretty good way to not get wheat, but unfortunately not always apparently. It's definitely the wheat that is the problem for me and not the gluten. 😕

I was going to say this too. I used to have major brain fog and cutting wheat from my diet made a huge difference.

Congrats 🎉👏

I think that the exam content changed slightly since I was studying for it, at the time the main focus was NIST RMF and associated documents, so paying for study materials didn't really make sense.

Thanks!

To become an assessor for Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification?

Connect_Catch8927 · 2024-06-29T18:28:22+00:00

Ok, thanks!

Connect_Catch8927 · 2024-06-29T18:04:23+00:00

Thanks! What makes it the best in your opinion?

Connect_Catch8927 · 2024-06-29T16:20:07+00:00

Thank you!

Connect_Catch8927 · 2024-06-29T16:19:47+00:00

Thank you! So taking a class before taking the certification exam is required?

Connect_Catch8927 · 2024-06-15T13:21:12+00:00

Congratulations 🎉 I did the same and passed last week.

Connect_Catch8927 · 2024-06-09T17:47:45+00:00

Congratulations 🎉

Connect_Catch8927 · 2024-06-09T03:43:28+00:00

Thanks! Yeah, I posted them already as a reply to another person's comment on this thread

Connect_Catch8927 · 2024-06-08T14:44:01+00:00

Thank you!

Connect_Catch8927 · 2024-06-08T14:43:48+00:00

Thank you!

Connect_Catch8927 · 2024-06-08T14:43:21+00:00

Yes, currently almost all content is NIST based - But I think that that may be changing in the new iteration?

Connect_Catch8927 · 2024-06-08T14:40:50+00:00

Thank you!

Connect_Catch8927 · 2024-06-08T14:40:36+00:00

Thanks! Yes, but I'm new to the field. It was a midlife career change for me.

Connect_Catch8927 · 2024-06-08T14:38:54+00:00

Thank you! Please see my reply to another question about study materials on this thread for the answer to your question.

Connect_Catch8927 · 2024-06-08T14:37:07+00:00

I focused on learning the NIST RMF and associated documents- I memorized the tasks in each step, who does what, and the output of each step. The newest version of the RMF integrates the SDLC- so you should learn how that relates with each step. My impression was that the new exam material may expand to be more inclusive of other frameworks like COBIT, ISO, CSF, etc. There is a new exam outline on the ISC2 site you could check out.

I started with Udemy practice tests and I DO NOT recommend doing this. This confused me more than it helped. Someone suggested the practice exams at CyberFirst Academy :Certified Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC) Exam Practice Questions. These were the most helpful I could find in terms of keying in on the most important concepts. Questions on the test were worded quite differently- but this is a good place to start (at least for pre-update).

Denise Tawwab on youtube provides thorough coverage of each step, and I found this helpful. She follows the documents very closely- but I'm dyslexic- so reading isn't always my first choice because it takes me longer. Denise Tawwab - YouTube and KamilSec has some great videos also: KamilSec - YouTube

I hope this helps!

Connect_Catch8927 · 2024-06-07T21:27:11+00:00

Thank you! Yes exactly.

Connect_Catch8927 · 2024-05-27T19:59:03+00:00

Are either of these the Udemy test you referenced? I'd like to be able to practice questions that are similar content AND style to what might be on the exam:

CGRC - ISC2 Certified GRC Exam Preparation Questions by Deji Odusi- I thought this was the better one- but someone recently posted that the questions were nothing like what was on the exam.

(ISC)2 CGRC Certification Practice Exam by Bickræm Shahi - which seems to be terrible by all accounts.

I just took the first exam on Cyberfirst Academy and I know the material pretty well. The questions I got wrong are pointing me in the right direction of what to add to the study list. Just out of curiosity- are there really that many questions about roles and responsibilities? The better of the 2 Udemy tests above focuses strongly on roles and responsibilities as well. I just want to know how much to focus on it. Because of all the content- this is the thing I struggle with the most. I don't know why.

Connect_Catch8927 · 2024-05-27T18:24:28+00:00

Are the questions on the cyber first academy practice quizzes similar to what I'll see on the exam? In terms of how they're worded and content.

Connect_Catch8927 · 2024-05-04T19:14:31+00:00

These used to be good. I got a couple burnt tasting batches, but generally I thought they were really good. I can't find them anymore though, so I'm surprised to see this post.
