Organizations love controls on paper.
But real risk leaders know the truth:
A control not performed becomes an exposure — even if the policy looks perfect.
In this episode of the Risk Leadership Decision Lab, we walk through a real scenario where privileged-access reviews were missed for months… without anyone noticing.
You’ll learn how to detect quiet control failures, how to challenge assumptions professionally, and how CRISC exam logic mirrors real-world situations exactly like this.
You’ll learn:
* How to spot when a control is failing silently
* How to question execution without conflict
* Why privileged access requires strict oversight
* How leaders transform missed reviews into strengthened governance
* How this scenario appears in CRISC, CISM, and CISA questions
📘 CRISC Domain Mapping
Domain 1 — Governance
* Control Ownership & Accountability
* Governance Structures & Oversight
Domain 2 — IT Risk Assessment
* Identifying Control Failures & Process Gaps
* Determining Business Impact of Missing Controls
Domain 4 — Risk & Control Monitoring
* Monitoring Control Effectiveness
* KCI Tracking & Exception Analysis
* Detecting Drift & Control Degradation
This episode teaches the essential leadership skill
of catching quiet risks before they create loud consequences.
