GRC Career Breakthrough System™
The Real Problem
If you’ve been doing “all the right things” and still feel stuck… you’re not alone.
You’ve watched the videos. Collected certs. Studied frameworks. And you still can’t get interviews — because GRC has hidden traps nobody explains.
You’re not stuck because you’re lazy. You’re stuck because GRC has no clear pathway — so you end up piecing together conflicting advice, and you never build the proof hiring managers want to see.
The GRC Traps That Keep Career Changers Stuck
Expand each one. In the masterclass, you’ll learn the “start here” plan to bypass these traps fast.
No clear pathway
Portfolio gap (the #1 differentiator)
Framework overwhelm
Certification vs experience paradox
Industry-specific confusion
“Soft skills” are actually hard skills
The tools gap
Interview readiness gap
How the GRC Career Breakthrough System Fixes These Problems
Clarity + Order
No clear pathway → fixed
You follow 10 modules in the right order — foundations to capstone.
Proof-of-Work Portfolio
Portfolio gap → fixed
You build 18 deliverables employers recognize — not theory.
Frameworks in Context
Framework overwhelm → fixed
Frameworks are taught while you build the artifacts, not in isolation.
Industry Targeting
Industry confusion → fixed
You complete a Regulatory Applicability Assessment so you know what applies.
Scenario + Interview Readiness
Soft skills + interview gap → fixed
You practice a portfolio walkthrough and answer interview questions using your own work as proof.
Cohort Option (Accountability)
Staying consistent → fixed
Optional cohort track with 4 weekly live sessions starting Feb 1 (replays included).
The 18 Deliverables = 6 Weekly GRC Responsibilities
You won’t just “learn GRC.” You’ll build a portfolio across the 6 things GRC analysts do every week:
Understand the business + scope
So your work makes sense in context.
Translate requirements
Frameworks + regulations → controls.
Run risk
Identify, score, and treat risk.
Write governance
Policies + procedures that match the business.
Prove compliance
Evidence + audit readiness.
Manage third parties + resilience
Vendors + continuity planning.
Bottom line: You finish with proof — not promises.
Who This Is For (and Not For)
This is for you if you are:
- A career changer who wants a non-coding cybersecurity path
- Tired of certs that don’t translate into interviews
- Ready to build proof: risk, controls, audit readiness, vendor reviews
- Serious about becoming job-ready with real artifacts
This is NOT for you if you want:
- Hands-on engineering, pentesting, malware analysis, or coding-heavy labs
- A program focused on technical tool mastery and building systems
- A shortcut with no portfolio work
