With 20 study hours or so, I passed the ISC2 CGRC (formerly known as CAP) exam today (Jan 9, 2024). As a CISSP, I was reluctant to pursue the entry-level exam CC and US government-specific CGRC/CAP because CISSP covers job practices well enough. However, as a CISSP instructor, I must wear the same shoes to prove to my students that CC is a fantastic starter and a significant milestone in the CISSP journey. Moreover, CGRC is a good personal goal for learning and growth in 2024.
Having completed the exam today, I’d like to thank Nancy Allen, also a CGRC holder, who inspired me to push forward to both CGRC and CC. She is quite active in the community and passionate about sharing and helping people. Thank you so much for your contributions and advancing the profession!
I’m thankful for Prabh Nair‘s valuable sharing, How to Prepare for CGRC 2024. He summarized key points for CGRC aspirants and provided effective guidance.
I am grateful to Fadi Sodah (aka Madunix), author of the CISSP Process Guide, for his ongoing quality write-ups. Even though Fadi is undergoing a disease recovery, he keeps writing and helping people. He inspired and motivated me a lot when I was suffering challenges. Thank you, Fadi!
