The CGRC exam, officially titled Certified in Governance Risk and Compliance, is the qualifying test for the Certified in Governance, Risk and Compliance certification from ISC2, a credential at the Intermediate level. Passing it proves you have the skills employers look for in certified professionals.

The ISC Certified in Governance Risk and Compliance exam gives you 180 minutes to work through 125 questions. That is a steady pace with little room for second-guessing, so train yourself to read each question once, flag the difficult ones, and keep moving. Before exam day, sit at least two full timed sessions in the Lead2PassExam test engine — when the clock feels familiar, it stops being a threat.

You need 700 out of 1000 to pass, and the official registration fee is USD 599 / EUR 555 / GBP 479. Fall short and you pay that fee in full again for every retake, which makes solid preparation the cheaper option by far. Work through the Lead2PassExam practice questions until you score comfortably above the passing mark, then book your seat.

2 years of cumulative paid work experience in one or more CGRC domains; associate status available without experience, full certification within 3 years Eligibility rules can change over time, so before you register, confirm the latest requirements on the official exam page: ISC2 CGRC exam overview.
