The poster is a recent B.Tech graduate with a technical background in cybersecurity, including developing open-source security tools such as an autonomous vulnerability scanner and a Windows forensics tool. They have also supported digital forensics work for a local police cyber cell. Now transitioning into a Big 4 GRC (Governance, Risk, and Compliance) role with a referral opportunity, they seek advice on interview preparation. Key areas of focus include mastering frameworks like ISO 27001 and NIST CSF, reframing technical projects to highlight GRC relevance, and demonstrating client-facing soft skills. Their mentor has emphasized that their technical experience is an asset for understanding the underlying architecture in GRC roles.
