[@tball2688]

this is so awesome. I love how enthusiastic you are about this. I have been contemplating for years on which direction i would like to go as far as expanding my IT career and to see someone who looks like me doing this is even more motivation. I have no clue how i found this video but thank you for this bro 🙏🏾 .

THANK YOU for this video! I just got asked by the Operations Manager at my company to go over our PCI DSS compliance report. I am an IT support specialist and this saved my butt!

[@kujenga7718]

Yes! This video and the one that talks about becoming an cybersecurity personnel in 7 days, is totally new to me, since I started a while back when MCSE was the thing. I'm in Haiti in the W.I.

Man, this is right up my alley. I would love to delve into this scope of work!

[@PhillipBurnettJr]

I can't explain enough how representation matters. I have worked in logistics as a forklift operator for more than a decade and I want to transition to IT and you my brother are an inspiration. I have been watching your videos all week, and I really want to join your program. I am a little discouraged that your approval rate for the academy is around 30% but I hope that if I'm not able to join I can still learn enough to attack the career on my own. Today I'm creating a business page to be able to access the Qualys training as well as the PCI DSS framework. Following your steps as closely as I can and I have faith that I can do this. Blessings to you and yours and thank you

The information I have gained from your channel these last 4 days have been amazing. I'm doing a bootcamp in February, and this Channel is giving me the confidence needed to know I am making the right decision to dive into this sector of tech. Thank you for being my catalyst to changing my career and life.

Hello, what boot camp are you doing? His?

[@RespectfullyCurious]

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.

[@sairajpottipochala7433]

Hi Mate can you please let me know how satisfied are you with your current role? Manly the pay, growth and I believe the work life is better than sys admin. Curious because I too am facing a similar kind of experience.

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.

Specialization is major key

[@professorblackops-cybersec1168]

Add that NIST 800-53 and FedRamp for that Federal Bag..

[@RespectfullyCurious]

You can learn any of these, and over time specialist if you're going to freelance or consult. I work in house a never bothered to memorize every framework because they all very similar, and if you don't know you can just pull up the framework and read the control. It also helps a whole lot if you have technical experience or some sort of technical knowledge. I used to be a SysAdmin and doing auditing or GRC work has been such a breeze since it's mostly just project management work.
