- Are you interested in pursuing a career in Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC)? In this video, we dive into the world of GRC certifications and discuss our existing courses on Udemy.
Firstly, let's define GRC: it stands for governance, risk, and compliance, and it plays a crucial role in various organizations. Governance involves establishing policies and procedures, while risk focuses on identifying vulnerabilities and implementing mitigation strategies. Compliance ensures adherence to regulatory requirements, such as PCI DSS for credit card acceptance.
While GRC certifications are still emerging, certifications like CISSP, CISA, CASP+, and CAP serve as valuable indicators of GRC expertise. Many professionals working in GRC eventually pursue the CISSP certification to validate their GRC skills.

Thank You
I am currently a practising lawyer for a decade now. I am thinking of getting a certification from IAPP and transitioning into GRC. Any other suggestions would be much appreciated. I have no IT background; however, I am doing the Google cybersecurity course.
Very informative video
Glad you think so!
I just recently completed My Cyber Security Management and Policy degree. I am looking to obtain a Governance Risk and Compliance position. I am looking to obtain GRC certifications. Would be a good idea to post some of my writings that I did in college on LinkedIn to show my interest in the field?
Sharing your academic writings on LinkedIn is a fantastic idea to showcase your knowledge and enthusiasm for GRC. This not only highlights your expertise but also demonstrates your commitment to the field. Plus, engaging with comments on your posts can further establish your presence in the GRC community. It’s a proactive step towards building your professional network and enhancing your visibility in the field.
I’m definitely looking to go into GRC in cybersecurity, but want to lean coding as well! Any advice?
Before we answer your question let's get some context.

@@DionTraining both to be honest, but if I had to choose money because I can adapt to liking a job. My whole career has been in healthcare/nursing.
I’m a DOD contractor and even the guys who do GRC don’t like it. They did it basically to get a pay increase.

Transitioning into the GRC field from a paralegal background is a strategic move that can really leverage your existing legal and compliance knowledge, so this could be a great move for you.
Here are a few simple tips to guide you through this possible transition:
Learn the Basics: Check out online courses or certifications in GRC to get started.
Make Connections: Use LinkedIn or join groups to meet people already working in GRC.
Use Your Skills: Your experience as a paralegal has given you great skills for GRC, like understanding regulations and doing thorough research.

Is the Security+ certification helpful for entry into the GRC role?
Absolutely, the Security+ certification is a fantastic stepping stone into a GRC role. It provides a solid foundation in cybersecurity principles and practices that are crucial for understanding the broader context of GRC tasks. Whether you're looking to ensure compliance with regulations or manage organizational risk, Security+ equips you with the knowledge to get started on the right foot.
Currently an attorney but looking to transition into Tech GRC. Undergrad in CompE. Any suggestions?
It sounds like you're in a fantastic position to transition into GRC with your background in law and Computer Engineering! Start by upskilling in GRC frameworks and consider getting certifications like CISA or CISSP. Use your existing network to connect with professionals in the tech field, and perhaps look for internship or part-time roles to get some hands-on experience. I personally know a couple of attorneys who now work in compliance and they are very satisfied with their decision to switch. The specific knowledge subjects that I would suggest that you familiarize yourself with are ISO 27001, NIST, and COSO. You may also want to learn about data privacy regulations like GDPR and CCPA.

@@DionTrainingI got Security+ with your course on the first go! Now, looking to continue studying in the new year to get into GRC! What do you recommend I do next, GRCP?
I am currently in the banking sector currently looking to transition to Grc what certification doni start with.
When transitioning to a GRC role, the path you take can definitely depend on any certifications you already hold. If you're starting with minimal certifications in the field, beginning with the Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) certification is a great choice. CISA is highly respected and focuses on essential skills such as auditing, controlling, and assessing an organization's IT and business systems, which are crucial for GRC roles.
If you're new to the field and looking for a broader foundation, the CompTIA Security+ certification could be a good first step before diving into more specialized GRC certifications. This will provide you with a solid understanding of basic cybersecurity principles and practices, setting the groundwork for more advanced GRC-focused certifications.
Im trying to get into grc and just got my google cybersecurity certificate. As a next step, should i go for a grc specific cert like the oceg grc or the isc2 cgrc cert? I dont have the years of experience required for the cisa or cssp. I know the sec + is the baseline cert but since i did the google one im not sure if i should do the sec + too. Thanks!
In your position, I'd strongly consider pursuing the reputable Security+ certification. Based on my experience, it's highly regarded, especially within governmental sectors, aligning well with your career aspirations. Additionally, the ISC2 CGRC is renowned for its industry recognition and could be a valuable asset.
However, it's important to note that certifications often cater to specific corporate preferences. I recommend reviewing job postings on sites like LinkedIn or Indeed to identify the certifications most sought after by your target employers. This will definitely optimize your prospects. Good luck, and I'm confident in your success!
