Governance, Risk & Compliance
Run risk assessments, build ISMS controls, and carry an organization through audit.
Overview
GRC is where security meets the business, and it is the single most accessible entry point into this industry for people without a technical background. Auditors, analysts, operations managers, and quality professionals already have most of the underlying skill — what they lack is the security framework and the vocabulary.
This program supplies both. You build a real information security management system from an empty page: risk register, policy set, control implementation, evidence collection, and an internal audit you run yourself.
What you’ll learn
Six modules. Every one ends in something you built, not something you watched.
Security governance foundations
DeliverableA governance charter for a mid-sized organization.
Risk assessment & management
DeliverableA complete, defensible risk register with treatment decisions.
Frameworks & control mapping
DeliverableA cross-framework control mapping that removes duplicate work.
Policy authoring & implementation
DeliverableA policy suite written to survive an external auditor.
Control testing & evidence
DeliverableAn internal audit report with tested controls and evidence.
Third-party risk & audit readiness
DeliverableA vendor risk program and a certification readiness pack.
Tools you'll operate

Who this is for — and who it isn’t
The right-hand column costs us enrollments on purpose. A wrong placement helps nobody twice.
A good fit if
- Career switchers from audit, finance, operations, quality, or business analysis — no technical background required
- IT professionals moving into policy, risk, and compliance roles
- Founders and managers who need to carry their company through SOC 2 or ISO 27001
Probably not if
