eGRACS Accreditation - Practice Test

Q1: How many 'Golden Triangles' are distributed across the four-tiered hierarchy?

40
120
10 per tier
3

Divide the total number of controls by the number of points on a triangle.

A✔️With 120 controls arranged into triads, there are exactly forty interdependent Golden Triangles in the system.
B❌This is the total count of individual controls, which are then grouped into triads.
C❌The triangles are distributed hierarchically, but the number per tier depends on the number of controls (e.g., 81 controls in the Tactical tier form 27 triangles).
D❌Three is the number of controls per individual triangle, not the total number of triangles.

Q2: Why is the eGRACS Framework's hierarchy described as 'fractal'?

Because it is composed of glass-like structures that can easily break under regulatory pressure.
Because it requires mathematical formulas to calculate the risk of every control.
Because it scales fluidly, expanding like a tree to fit the organisation's complexity as it matures.
Because every control in the Tactical Tier is a miniature version of the entire Schema.

Think about how a simple pattern can grow into a complex, large-scale structure.

C✔️The tiered structure allows the framework to grow with the business rather than becoming obsolete.
A❌Fractal refers to the scaling property of the hierarchy, not the physical properties of glass.
B❌While the design is geometric, 'fractal' primarily describes its organic scalability and growth.
D❌While 'fractal' implies self-similarity, the eGRACS tiers have distinct functions (Core, Strategic, etc.).

Q3: What mechanism ensures that eGRACS remains 'future-proof' against new laws like the EU AI Act?

A reliance on old standards that never change, like original COBIT versions.
A fixed 10-year freeze on all governance requirements.
Continuous Normalisation through Global Evolution Mapping.
The manual re-writing of the 120 controls by each individual client.

Look for the process that monitors and integrates updates from regulatory bodies.

C✔️This process continuously harmonises the Framework and Model with evolving international standards and local laws.
A❌eGRACS incorporates approximately two dozen global practices and updates them as they evolve.
B❌Freezing requirements would lead to obsolescence, the opposite of the goal of continuous normalisation.
D❌The schema itself is updated to remain relevant, saving the client from having to re-invent the system each time laws change.

Q4: Scenario: Your client’s enterprise IT is struggling with fragmented governance across multiple frameworks. Using the eGRACS Framework, outline a step-by-step approach to unify governance. Include domains, tiers, and examples of operational activities.

Q5: Scenario: Design a training plan for onboarding new ICT managers in the organization using the eGRACS Framework. Include objectives, modules, and evaluation methods.
