    On top of the "why" that Boyd mentions, it's also important to understand the how. That's why I personally recommend people also learn general IT knowledge like Networking and Active Directory. I was a SysAdmin and moved into GRC because I hated being on-call. Since I already had technical knowledge and knew the HOW and WHY, doing GRC work has pretty much just been project management work at the end of the day.

      I highly recommend still building technical knowledge, as it makes it easier to know what you are auditing. You don't need to be an expert, but knowing a little bit of how something works or doesn't work, it'll make things a lot smoother.
      Once you have some technical knowledge, Security GRC work is mostly just project management to be honest.

    The soc 1 audit I did at the big 4 was literally the same shit. A recruiter said she wanted to see that I have a CISM or CISA. I have a CPA.

    I just finished watching this Video (CyberSecurity Auditor) on the PCI/DSS framework, I found it very interesting, just not sure if that's easy? just by login into the Sonic Firewall and pointing out the mistake? that the Network Administrator regarding the password and or the idle timing on the system that the Net Admin was on. PCI says should be 15 min rather 30 min of being idle or left out of the system. Where this PCI documentation?? It sounds like you need to be Sonic Certified or CCNA, CCNA-CyberOPS Certified ??

    What course did you complete in 1 day/1 week? Is it online?
    If so, how much did it cost?
