The Control That Looked Fine on Paper | CRISC Risk Decision Lab Episode 9


Listen Later

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
