Hi, Do you think when the new exam changes go in place there will be a update to the self study material needed? Will there be an updated CBK?

Hi there

I am an authorized ISC2 instructor for CGRC. From my point of view, there are only minor tweaks to the distribution of questions (see the original posting). You do not need to wait for updated CBK materials. 

The exam questions are primarily based on your knowledge of Information Security/cybersecurity and important NIST standards. The current material is very good. See my earlier posting on common standards such NIST, ISO etc for you to review as part of the curriculum.
