Easy transition so far but that depends on project. I don’t mind my job anymore and make a little bit more money. Definitely some overlap between IT audit and cyber

I’m trying to transfer now and it’s been a bear, any insight?

Wayyyyyyy better, roles aren’t that similar but I guess it depends what type of cyber project you are on

Are you on the strategy side or have you moved into more technical roles?

I heard cyber in the big 4 is all third party risk management

Lol a good amount but definitely not all

Yes. I used to do IT Audit at KPMG focusing mostly on SOX but now I work at a regional firm doing SOC 1/SOC 2 and HITRUST. We do provide other services such as PCI, ISO, IT Risk Assessments, Pen testing, vulnerability management, etc but I’m not involved with those. It’s still audit and I my prior experience is relevant, the subject matter and focus is different. Of course cyber is a big field and firms offer multiple services.

Just transferred from IT Audit to Strategy and Transactions. Been a goal of mine for a while so I’m happy to see it play out. Not posting just to say I did it, but because I’ve been following this bowl for a while and see people get negative about being pigeon holed. There were tons of transferable skills that I was able to highlight that got a role that’s completely different, so I just don’t want anyone feeling discouraged if they’re hitting walls.
