@trianglesmith: GRC cybersecurity is boring… but it pays really well. 😂💰 A lot of my day is: 📄 Writing and updating policies 📋 Reviewing controls 📸 Asking people for screenshots as evidence 📊 Updating risk registers 📝 Documenting procedures 🔍 Reviewing audit findings 📧 Sending follow-up emails because someone STILL hasn’t provided evidence 📑 Mapping controls to frameworks 🤝 Sitting in meetings talking about compliance It’s not exactly the Hollywood version of cybersecurity. I’m not sitting in a dark room hacking into servers all day. Sometimes I’m literally just staring at a spreadsheet asking: “Where is the evidence?” But here’s the part I love… You can build a very comfortable career in GRC, and six-figure salaries are absolutely possible as you gain experience and move into higher-level roles. So yeah… It can be boring. It can also pay really well. And honestly? I’ll take boring and well-paid. 😂💰 #GRC #Cybersecurity #CybersecurityCareer #InfoSec #workingincybersecurity

I graduate in December with my bachelors in cyber operations with an emphasis in defense and forensics. I play to test for Sec+ soon. Any tips for someone just starting out? A well paid, boring job sounds amazing 😂🙏🏼

The writing part should be easy, create a library of templates, assessing controls now that one might be boring but you can spice it up with AI etc.

Good to know! I’ve been curious since seeing it come up as an area of study and considering it a career path with an expanding future and job market. Personally, not into entirely tedious work as I like some variation, agility/whiplash, and chaos in my day to day.

GRC is boring. Cybersecurity is not. Cybersecurity operations, engineering, and threat intelligence are all cool jobs.
