IT Security Awareness & Human Risk Mastery Certification

Welcome to the IT Security Awareness & Human Risk Mastery Certification— a professional certification assessment designed to evaluate your ability to serve as an active line of cyber defense.

This assessment measure your applied understanding of real-world cybersecurity principles, human behavior risks, and response strategies. Through scenario-based questions and critical analysis, it assesses your readiness to identify, prevent, and respond to the full spectrum of digital and human-factor threats.

The 120 questions you’ll encounter reflect real-world risk domains that define today’s security landscape — from phishing, ransomware, and deepfakes to PCI DSS 4.x governance, Zero-Trust strategy, and COBIT cultural alignment. Each scenario challenges your reasoning, decision-making, and applied awareness in realistic business contexts.

Core Security Awareness Domains Covered
