Break Into GRC With No Experience: A Real Roadmap

You've applied to job after job and nobody calls back. Most career changers aim at the wrong GRC roles with the wrong proof, and one portfolio piece can show a hiring manager your judgment. In this video, Funmi Ogunnowo, who has spent 30 years across audit, compliance and cybersecurity, walks through the realistic roadmap. You will learn the five entry roles to search for, how to read a job description for real GRC duties, and which entry certifications to consider (CISA is a later goal, not an entry credential). You will also learn the three frameworks to study first: NIST CSF 2.0, ISO 27001 and SOC 2. Then see how to translate your current job into controls and evidence, and which four portfolio projects to build over about ninety days using fictional data. No job is promised, but you will have real proof to discuss. Tell me in the comments which framework you have touched at work: CSF, ISO 27001, SOC 2 or none.
