Curriculum

Eight modules, built in order

Each module ends with a quiz and a copy-paste resume bullet. The labs are where the skill actually lands.

Module 0Getting started

Orientation

How the course works, the suggested study schedule, prerequisites, and how to get the most out of the labs.

Module 1Primer

A Cybersecurity Primer

What cybersecurity is, what a GRC analyst does, where the role sits in an information security office, and the technology and threat fundamentals you need to speak the language.

  • What does a GRC analyst actually do
  • Where GRC fits: CISO, SecOps, engineering, IAM
  • Understanding technology and threats (APT, cybercrime, hacktivists, insiders)
Module 2Compliance & audit

Compliance and Audit Work

The core capability. Frameworks, regulations, and the full audit methodology, then you run one.

  • Cybersecurity frameworks: NIST CSF, ISO 27001, SOC 2, CIS 18, and why they overlap
  • Regulations: SOX, HIPAA, GDPR, FISMA, PCI DSS
  • Bonus: NIST RMF and NIST CSF 2.0 deep dive
  • Audit methodology: prep, logistics, on-site, reconciliation, analysis, reporting
Lab 1Practical auditing

Run a control audit against NIST 800-171 using the course workbook: interviews, document review, testing, dispositions, and an executive report. Template included.

Module 3Awareness

Security Awareness Work

Training that actually changes behavior. Audience targeting, messaging that lands, and tools of the trade.

  • Know your audience: end users, executives, engineers
  • Short, personal, non-technical messaging that sticks
Lab 2Awareness campaign

Build your own awareness artifact (poster, video, or email series) using the course's messaging framework.

Module 4Risk

Cybersecurity Risk Work

The deepest module. What risk is, how to score it, and how to defend the numbers in front of the people with the money.

  • Mitigate, accept, remediate, transfer, explained with real examples
  • NIST RMF and the categorization, selection, implementation cycle
  • Threat modeling: STRIDE, OCTAVE, and the daily-intel method that actually works
Lab 3Risk assessment

Score a real risk register using the NIST 800-30 semi-quantitative method: likelihood, impact, risk value, realized risk, recommended action. Workbook included.

Module 5Governance

Information Security Governance Work

Policies, standards, and procedures, and how to write them so they are enforceable and actually used.

  • Policy vs standard vs procedure, with examples
  • The modern one-document approach and why acceptable use stays separate
  • NIST 800-53 as a coverage checklist
Lab 4Policy writing

Write a real information security policy from a blank page: purpose, scope, policy statements, non-compliance, management commitment, review schedule. Template included.

Module 6Job hunting

Getting a GRC Analyst Job

The playbook: where the jobs hide, how to network, how to tune LinkedIn, how to write the resume, and how to interview.

  • Finding jobs: LinkedIn filters, Discord job boards, direct networking
  • LinkedIn setup and tuning
  • Resume best practices with recruiter insight
  • Interview prep: questions to expect, questions to ask, follow-ups that land
Module 7Conclusion

Next Steps

Final thoughts, the full resume-bullet set, and where to go from here: certifications, communities, and continued learning.

InstructorKok Jabez

GRC and cybersecurity analyst, working practitioner

I analyze how the world's largest enterprises run their governance, risk, and compliance programs, publish daily GRC case studies, and work hands-on with the frameworks this program teaches: NIST CSF, ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR, and more.

  • Daily published analysis of enterprise GRC programs, with verified sources
  • Practical experience building and securing production systems
  • CISM in progress (management level GRC certification track)
  • Based in Southeast Asia (UTC+8), serving US, EU, and APAC clients

This program is the training I wish existed when I was breaking in: no fluff, no theory dumps, just the actual workflow of audit, risk, governance, and getting hired, taught by someone who does this work every week.
