The Certificate in Cyber Risk Governance®

The Only Cyber Credential that Integrates Cyber, Technology, and Strategic Risk Governance

The Certificate in Cyber Risk Governance® is awarded to professionals who complete a comprehensive educational program on the integration and governance of technologies in business and strategic planning. As regulators and investors increasingly demand sophisticated cyber risk knowledge that many board members lack, we provide a proven pathway to demonstrate such knowledge. Candidates must first earn the Certificate in Risk Governance®. They can then pursue our Strategic Specialization Certificates in Mastering Cyber Risk Governance and Mastering Technology Risk Governance. Upon award of all three, they are awarded the Certificate in Cyber Risk Governance®.


Request a brochure or use the button below to schedule a personal consultation about how this program helps you in your governance role and how it helps differentiate you as a board candidate. When you enroll, you join a global community of board members and leading executives redefining the meaning of risk governance for the better.
