The EBIOS Risk Manager exam is a three-hour, open-book, paper-based exam aligned with ANSSI requirements. It assesses knowledge of EBIOS RM principles, framework, and practical risk assessment execution.
The EBIOS Risk Manager certification exam is an open-book, paper-and-pencil exam lasting three hours. It evaluates a candidate’s understanding of information security risk management principles, the EBIOS RM framework, and the ability to apply the method in practical risk assessment scenarios.
Unlike multiple-choice exams, the EBIOS RM exam emphasizes reasoning and application. ANSSI requires an exam format that reflects real-world analytical work rather than memorization. This approach remains unchanged in 2024–2025 and is a distinguishing feature of the certification.
The exam covers three competence domains: fundamental risk management principles, the EBIOS RM framework, and execution of an EBIOS RM risk assessment. Candidates may consult authorized materials, but time pressure requires familiarity with the method rather than searching for answers.
Successful candidates demonstrate structured reasoning, clear explanations, and consistent use of EBIOS terminology. Preparation focuses on understanding scenario logic and risk treatment justification rather than rote learning.
Hands-on training and case study practice are essential for exam success.
We advise candidates to practice writing concise, structured answers. The most common failure point is spending too much time describing theory instead of applying it. Candidates who regularly work through full EBIOS scenarios perform better because they think in the method’s logic. Time management is critical; three hours pass quickly when reasoning is unclear.
