Why OCEG?

OCEG is the gold standard in GRC frameworks.

With over 20 years of experience pioneering the GRC space, OCEG originated the concepts of GRC, Principled Performance, and the 6 critical disciplines of GRC. Additionally, OCEG was the first company to publish academic papers on the topic and is the only company to emphasize the value of open access standards in the marketplace. OCEG’s standards and training focus on moving teams from a disconnected, volatile state to one of connection and stability. Their trainings encourage this by:

• Focusing on the correlation between Principled Performance and connectivity
• Teaching professionals to develop an intentional work culture
• Promoting self-improvement through an interlinked, shared-value lens
• Explaining the value of interdisciplinary action to the protector skillset

Understanding the Tiered Structure

OCEG's 2024 pricing package maintains its original, tiered structure, catering to the diverse needs of GRC professionals across each stage of their careers. From beginners just dipping their toes into the waters of GRC to advanced risk management professionals looking to deepen their portfolios with highly specialized certificates, each tier offers a unique set of advantages.

OCEG’s Basic Membership

OCEG’s Basic Membership is best for beginners looking to get to know GRC. Whether you’re a student, transitioning careers, or looking to understand the space more as you develop a small business, this is the membership for you. Here are the benefits that our basic members receive:

OCEG’s Pro Membership - All Access Pass

OCEG’s Pro Membership - All Access Pass is best for professionals who are currently in (or about to start) a GRC career.

Our professional membership ensures that you are continually updating your professional skills, have access to networking opportunities and continuing professional education, and can obtain multiple certifications across all 6 critical disciplines for one yearly fee.

Additionally, once you lock in your membership pricing and maintain your yearly subscription, you will NEVER be subject to a price increase. You get to lock in your pricing plan for life, no matter what happens in the market.

Automatically Tracked CPEs

If you have professional certifications in your back pocket already, you’re no stranger to the fact that CPEs can be a pain to maintain.

This is especially true if your CPEs and trainings are sponsored by your employer and held under a company account. Luckily, at OCEG, we make managing your continuing education efforts a breeze with our automatic CPE tracking system. All you have to do is sign into your OCEG account online and attend one of OCEG’s CPE events, and your hours will be automatically logged in the continuing education portal!

Priority Support

A plethora of our members have employer-sponsored certifications. So, what happens when you transition jobs?

At OCEG, we make your transition easy by providing all of our members with priority support. This means that you will always be filtered to the top of the portal when you submit support tickets to our team, and we’ll provide one-on-one support to fix any problems that you’re encountering.

No Retake Fees

OCEG’s main priority is providing accessible education to all of its members, so we don’t charge you test retake fees (for up to 5 attempts). It’s as simple as that!
