Trying to get into GRC, advice please. I’m trying to pivot to data privacy and/or third party risk. I’ve my CISA & just got my CRISC. But all opportunities I’m getting are internal audit, which I’m not interested in. What should I do to market myself as a GRC consultant? I’m open to contract work too. Also if any of you can advise on which companies and roles, I should target, that’ll be great. TIA

What other areas within GRC are you trying to do besides auditing?

Which industries are your focus, which regulations do you know?

Have you considered cyber insurance as a field?

Opportunities are endless.

Of youre looking to be external GRC, consider looking at security vendors as well, many places have grc consultants or at least do it as part of the proposal process. Integration specialists do GRC, but frankly it's only part of being well rounded.

Compliance or governance are the areas I’ll like to focus on. Hence data privacy (which will fall under compliance). I’m open to all industries, but would like to exit financial services if I can help it. I’m very familiar with hipaa, GDPR, GLBA. I’ve never thought of cyber insurance so something for me to research. Thanks for those questions.
