I been doing Federal Compliance, Assurance and Auditing for 10+ yrs. That is the hidden gem.. FedRamp is 100k+ jobs.. Great Information...
Wait wait wait I you can do the IT compliance in the federal sector ??? Mind - Blown! Lol
what kind of training did you take ?
Where should I search for these jobs?
Whelp. Guess I need to do more research.
Would love to ask you for some advise from time to time. That’s the path I would definitely love to be in.
I can't explain enough how representation matters. I have worked in logistics as a forklift operator for more than a decade and I want to transition to IT and you my brother are an inspiration. I have been watching your videos all week, and I really want to join your program. I am a little discouraged that your approval rate for the academy is around 30% but I hope that if I'm not able to join I can still learn enough to attack the career on my own. Today I'm creating a business page to be able to access the Qualys training as well as the PCI DSS framework. Following your steps as closely as I can and I have faith that I can do this. Blessings to you and yours and thank you
The information I have gained from your channel these last 4 days have been amazing. I'm doing a bootcamp in February, and this Channel is giving me the confidence needed to know I am making the right decision to dive into this sector of tech. Thank you for being my catalyst to changing my career and life.
Hey how was the boot camp because I'm going the college route
@@deljonfinister3598even people with college degrees have gone the boot camp route, if you’re confident and willing to learn I don’t see it as a bad opportunity, but know where you excel most and feel comfortable in getting the most from your potential
Hello, what boot camp are you doing? His?
this is so awesome. I love how enthusiastic you are about this. I have been contemplating for years on which direction i would like to go as far as expanding my IT career and to see someone who looks like me doing this is even more motivation. I have no clue how i found this video but thank you for this bro 🙏🏾 .
THANK YOU for this video! I just got asked by the Operations Manager at my company to go over our PCI DSS compliance report. I am an IT support specialist and this saved my butt!
Hey I really didn't certain roles in cybersecurity were so straightforward and non-coding you really are giving out some incredible useful practical information 👏🏿 👍🏿. I just want to thank you for sharing bro, and I appreciate you paying it forward!!!
My pleasure brother!

Hi Boyd, I’m on work visa, does that opportunities open for non-immigrants?? Like H1b visa holders??
On top of the "why" that Boyd mentions, it's also important to understand the how. That's why I personally recommend people also learn general IT knowledge like Networking and Active Directory. I was a SysAdmin and moved into GRC because I hated being on-call. Since I already had technical knowledge and knew the HOW and WHY, doing GRC work has pretty much just been project management work at the end of the day.
Hi Mate can you please let me know how satisfied are you with your current role? Manly the pay, growth and I believe the work life is better than sys admin. Curious because I too am facing a similar kind of experience.
Never knew it was so easy. Looking forward to learning more.
I did NOT know it could be this easy or simple... excellent information and thank you for the examples ...
Never knew this was that easy and able to comprehend. Awesome!!
Your video quality and editing is getting better and better every new video!
Thank you!
Did not know this was so easy. I have been in the Security business for more than 30 years, doing personal protection, bodyguard and transportation. Now on the consulting side and eager to learn more about Cybersecurity. Thank you!
Yessss very useful, looking forward to my scheduled call on Friday, thanks for this because I been so discouraged in getting started in the field.
This is exactly what I’ve been talking about doing for about a year
I’ve been wanting to get my start in Cybersecurity for a while now and I can definitely see myself adding PCI DSS to my toolbox
Man, this is right up my alley. I would love to delve into this scope of work!
Hi Boyd, I’m glad I stumbled upon your videos and I’ve been greatly inspired to pursue this path. I’ve had very weird notions of cybersecurity from guys who are tech fins but they always make cybersecurity look so complex but after watching your videos I’m convinced I could fit in. I’ve been in the construction industry for at least 6 yrs now but I want to challenge myself to pursue cybersecurity.
Yes! This video and the one that talks about becoming an cybersecurity personnel in 7 days, is totally new to me, since I started a while back when MCSE was the thing. I'm in Haiti in the W.I.
I didn't know Cybersecurity Auditing could be that easy. This content was very useful
It can certainly be simple when you understand the controls.
It’s all factual, however there are many more layers. This is an extremely simplified explanation of testing.
You are a blessing!!! Exceptional!!!!
Jeee Big Man. You’re gold, your insights and way of explaining is outstanding. Hope I get to know more and more stuff about the industry through you. Salute professor 🙌🏻
I'm highly honored to come across your channel sir!. I'm grateful. God bless you
I need him to mentor me for sure 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I am undergoing Cybersecurity Engineer training this video is very helpful I am a subscriber now,thanks.
Your channel is a hidden gem
Finishing my qaulysguard certs to start but definitely taking your advice
You content has be in uprising thing for me. Great information and great delivery. Once I’m done with google certificate your course is next.
Hey Boyd! I have been following you for two weeks consistently and i must say that am impressed with the way you dish out super useful content that inspire folks like myself and many others. I am looking forward to a meeting with you tomorrow
How food your meeting go? Are you starting your cybersecurity journey?
I'm paying attention to all the knowledge you're dropping, when I told you I'm motivated to do this I meant it. Got a text to watch the video this morning and I had already watched it yesterday🔥 letting me know I'm on track, thank you sir
To answer your question; No, Sir I didn't know Cybersecurity auditing was that simple, and that you didn't need certifications, and or a degree. I thank you very much for the awareness. You are the bomb. No pun intended. I mean you're amazing! thanks for your time.
Try to convince the employer of that. The reality is that you need those foundational qualifications which are degrees and certs and experience around this field to even be considered a candidate.
Honestly, I had no idea. Thanks. A new sub
This is so awesome. I can’t wait to join!
Informative and fascinating
Thank you #Boyd Clewis for accepting me for the interview about the program I'm enrolling on the 26th and I'm excited and happy and glad that my kids father is helping me get started with this it's gonna be life changing for my fiance and my kids can't wait to start thank you God led me to this channel for a reason thank you so much
Awesome! Excited for you!
I have my advisor conference call this afternoon, and I can't wait to see where this new beginning takes me, my sons, and my family too. I'm looking forward to being fortunate enough to be a blessing to others.
Greetings , thank you demonstrate and explained so simple. I got questions right and understood a little of the why. I have a very hard time with any computer stuff, you have just restored my hope. I will tell everyone I know about Baxter Clewis training academy!!!
Great information, Boyd! I've got to apply to your academy.
Very interested now that you have explained it.
Love it, the way u make this that easy❤
Great teacher style 👌
WOW! Extremely impressive information and I will pass it on to my children.
Is this a full time remote position? Or can you do this less than 8 hours a day?
Very useful information. Thanks for the explanation and examples.
Thank you for the illustration. Very eye opening information
I legit didn't know that cybersecurity auditing was that easy! This is a big help and gives me hope to start my cybersecurity career. Thanks so much!
I did not know Cybersecurity Auditing could be that easy to understand. I am still processing the information but interested to learn more. Thank you for the amazing content.
My pleasure!
You will still need to work, and if you have solid communication skills, you will surely excel in this field.
My goodman Boyd,, you have def intrigued my interest.. def beneficial on the guideline to framework understanding.. and I believe I have what it takes to grow within this career
Why am I just hearing about this?! I’m studying for my ccna and this seems like something that is very lucrative. Thanks for the info!
I highly recommend still building technical knowledge, as it makes it easier to know what you are auditing. You don't need to be an expert, but knowing a little bit of how something works or doesn't work, it'll make things a lot smoother.
Once you have some technical knowledge, Security GRC work is mostly just project management to be honest.
Very helpful and please post the link to get started with the training.
I did not know it was that easy. Way fo go.
I graduate in May with an Accounting Degree got the Job with a BIG4 IT Audit for the federal. Very generous offer, studying now for my CISA. This is a great path!
No I didn't know it could be so uncomplicated & Im learning so much that I cant wait to apply to your school. Im doing do diligence now. Now Ill watch part 2!😄 Thank you! 👍🏽💯
Awesome! Teaching
This Man training me shiiiddd
Great information to start a new career. I will be taking the next step to find out more.
Reach out on Facebook or Instagram for more info!
Thanks for the video. You make it look easy. 😊
Wow! This is very interesting.
Awesome information 💕
Many thanks for sharing your amazing video with us brother!
Could you please make a list of similar videos in which you show us how to implement the most famous audit frameworks, ISO 27001, and which tools we people use on daily basis when it comes to ISO 27001?
something practical as in that video.
Thanks in advance!
You will never get back a response to your question! the thing is, you need to step in first, pay money then ask questions.
I just finished watching this Video (CyberSecurity Auditor) on the PCI/DSS framework, I found it very interesting, just not sure if that's easy? just by login into the Sonic Firewall and pointing out the mistake? that the Network Administrator regarding the password and or the idle timing on the system that the Net Admin was on. PCI says should be 15 min rather 30 min of being idle or left out of the system. Where this PCI documentation?? It sounds like you need to be Sonic Certified or CCNA, CCNA-CyberOPS Certified ??
Thank you for this video! What are other types of frameworks that this skill can be applied to?
please do a more in-depth video on the audit process! it. would be super helpful.
Of course. Anything in particular you want to see?
I am a specialist in PCI DSS/CP/PIN and I must say that the DSS is very complete, I know it is for the card environment, but it is only a matter of changing your scope and you already have your requirements for any environment. and as I think, cybersecurity is a small part of information security. the word cybersecurity is just marketing
When you said "it is only a matter of changing your scope and you already have your requirements for any environment" do you mean other career positions besides the PCI?
"Requirements for any environment" - does it mean one can work for example, in the healthcare environment with a PCI-DSS certification or training? What is CP & PIN?
@@jamesmcalister1383 I mean that if your company has as a priority to protect all data that is not Card Number, it can be an example, medical records, personal data. Those scopes you can easily implement this rule, it is only change the Number of Cards (PAN) for your own scope.
@@nanapoku5259 No, PCI DSS is for the confidentiality of credit/debit cards. I mean in the information security environment. CP and PIN are other standards, CP = PCI Card Production is dedicated to the creation of the physical card until its distribution. and the PCI PIN is dedicated to the security of the PIN of the card (4 digits).
@@zeroz4320 Oh okay got it. You mean the principles associated with PCI can be applied to other non-card process of data protection.
You are right about the use of information security and cybersecurity interchangeably - I used to get confused with that. So let me this since you are a PCI specialist - how did you get started and what certification did you take?
Awesome 👍
Very inspiring and insightful
Thank you for this! Been considering ISO 27001 & ISO 22301 but this seems wayyyyyyy cooler😁 Might just focus on this alone 🤔
Specialization is major key
Add that NIST 800-53 and FedRamp for that Federal Bag..
You can learn any of these, and over time specialist if you're going to freelance or consult.
I work in house a never bothered to memorize every framework because they all very similar, and if you don't know you can just pull up the framework and read the control. It also helps a whole lot if you have technical experience or some sort of technical knowledge. I used to be a SysAdmin and doing auditing or GRC work has been such a breeze since it's mostly just project management work.
@@RespectfullyCurious What role do you currently have? I'm a sysadmin of sorts and also pondering moving. Did you focus on PCI DSS as well?
Thanks, Boyd for this valuable information.
This eye opener in IT . I am interested in this training
Reach out on Facebook or Instagram for more info!
I love this!
V positive and helping attitude may Allah bless you
Most of us do this to our own pc. When we have to protect our info we set the pc or laptop to lock when it’s idle 5 minutes or when you close the laptop
The soc 1 audit I did at the big 4 was literally the same shit. A recruiter said she wanted to see that I have a CISM or CISA. I have a CPA.
I’ve always been on the health field and wanted to make a huge change. W will be honest I am super excited and nervous at the same time, from all of the scamming that is going around.
Yes, this is very interesting.
Can we do that job remotely from outside the USA? (Yes, I’m American).
I knew nothing 😅 lol loving your content....coming in a few months. ❤
I have currently finished learning the iso 27001 framework, next one up is PCI DSS before I start applying for jobs
Awesome! Make sure you give us a look for your next frameworks training!
How long did it take you to complete?
new information to me and very useful
I am very proud of this brotha!!!!
Thank you!
I went to indeed and searched auditor, you the man bro 👍
Tomorrow I will be finishing up my 2-week ITIL course and will be starting CompTIA A+ next week. Being a retired veteran, the VA is footing the bill through the VET-TEC program. I've always enjoyed dabbling with building pc's and figured that I'd change my current career of being am Occupational Therapy Assistant to something in IT.
Where are you learning Comptia
@@ebelenwaelene8294 ACI
This is fascinating
Didn't know Cyber Security was this rewarding. I WANT one those $100+ vancies. I am willing to get the training and be coachable
It is easy and very useful 😊
Hey Boyd. Im based in london with no it experience nor certs. Would i be able to apply for your mentorship programme?
I really find this information useful. Thank you Boyd
You're welcome!
Is it possible for me to with a background in finance to switch career to cybersecurity? Because have always had interest in Cybersecurity but no useful resources to help out
@@luckyking1762 absolutely. You can leverage that very expertise.
I already do this but on a different level with DoD servers and such, but I use something called STIGS (Security Technical Implementation Guides)
Also, a lot is checked with a tool called SCAP Tools..
How can I find jobs and relate experience to land a higher paying job as such.
Also, I have a DoD clearance and Sec+
I’m definitely interested in the IT field, specifically Vulnerability Management. Are there discriminatory policies in these fields for people with post legal issues? I’ve heard that regardless of nature of crime felons don’t qualify for a lot of the IT employment opportunities out there.
@boyd Lewis where is the link ? I’m watching from my phone and can’t see the link, I’m definitely interested…
This is what I want to do next Im currently in it helpdesk studying for my secuity plus but this seems pretty cool I feel like a good inspector but for It compliance
Are your courses available to students located outside of the US? Love your channel - it's been helping me a lot lately as I decide to pivot out of customer service!
Hey Coco! We do!! Please reach out on FB or IG for more info!
Yes, I actually did this for hardened clients. We usually set it on a baseline via gpo. This is all that pci dss? I mean I had to look at over 250 items.
Sounds like you got some high-income skills to leverage for a new job.
@Boyd Clewis: The Six-Figure Tech Career Coach well I just got laid off from 120k a year job, would like to make more and have more free time and the income to do the things I've always wanted to do.
Can I take your course if I dont have any experience in tech or are there a few things I should familiarize myself with first?
The reality is the ISA isn't gonna have hands on access themselves to check firewalls, IDSes etc. It'll be a lot of info gathering from network teams etc..?
How do I get started in The iT Audit field?
I’m currently studying for my security +
Since recently joining the group I've pickup a wealth of information which understanding the work i've previously done and was not aware it was a career path to cybersecurity in some way.
Ive perform the PCI DSS ISA role for 4 years for my previous company.
For the training, do I need to complete the vulnerability management? I want to be prepare to the isa and qsa exams.
I want to launch my career in cybersecurity. I have zero experience, what's the first step I need to take? This episode gave me the inspiration to get into cybersecurity auditor.
I've been trying to learn bug bounty but.....I think I like this way more! Ik people don't usually think auditing sounds like fun but I think I'd be great at this lol
Thanks for sharing.
So i'm studying a course on IT Auditing, I'm a master's level therapist who wants more stability, more pay and to do something different. So far learning about audit has been rewarding to see how simple the job is, I grasp everything quite easily. Do you think the course and the ability to demonstrate what I know in an interview will be enough to get a job?
Great job on working to improve your skills. The course you take doesn't matter. What matters is your ability to communicate your knowledge and thought process to problem solving.
@@BoydClewis thank you for responding! That should be easy because my current role as a therapist requires me to be analytical, identify problems and solutions to those problems. Really praying this will be enough!!
You will do great! Best of luck to you!
@@Chelsea.M. You got this! 💪🏾
@Boyd Clewis , I know that your videos are geared toward those who are already in the tech industry. Im an occupational therapist, which is not at all tech. However, It is about goalsetting, problem-solving, task analysis, and developing strategies to execute plans to produce results. I want to get into tech in order to grow financially. Where do you recommend one start training/ education wise in order to get into the cyber security realm?
How stressful is an auditing job? Is it mentally stimulating, if so, which part? Thanks.
I would like to try it. But no idea where to start it
I’m interested
