ACI Learning Reviews

Wish we would have had this back in March.

While there was time allotted to learning activities, there is no substitute for being in class. The current and ongoing troubles with social distancing and the reaction to COVID19 in general have drastically hampered what I believe could be an excellent training program. As there is a seeming mountain range of material to navigate, it feels as though there is only time enough to ascend one peak. The program materials are there but it feels like we only superficially breeze past then in order to get the hint and move on instead of significant digestion. The exception here was the necessary focus on Subnetting. This not only turned out to be informative but insightful. However, I can't help but think the concepts would have been better reinforced via direct in class instruction.

Again, and additional 2 or 3 days to allow more time for review and examples would be perfect. The test out labs are a poor substitute for in person/hands on instruction.

The Cybersecurity Audit School provided a wealth of information between the material and very knowledgeable instructor. My expectations were exceeded and I have a lot to bring back to my company and improve our security and audit.

This will be a recommended course for all my auditor stuff going forward.

Good job!

Additional materials would be helpful, e.g., more RCM examples, fishbone diagrams, etc.

I was expecting more details around actual auditing of cybersecurity - how to do it. The last 30 slides gave a 'checklist' of what documents to review. But going into more details, like what to look for, would have been helpful.

I had higher expectations. I did walk away with as an assessor, to pull more threads.

I think getting into the documents one has to fill out for the SAIV would have been helpful to review. I suppose technically that is not a part of the "Planning for the QAR" but a review of the A1, A2, A3, and A4 appendices would be a value-added element to this training.
