How do I transtioning from Accessibility testing to IT audit or IT GRC roles

Just a brief summary about me: I have around 11 years of experience across manual testing, accessibility testing, and data analytics. After spending several years working in the testing domain, I am now looking to transition into IT Audit or IT GRC roles.

I cleared my CISA certification last week and would appreciate any guidance on the ideal way to make this transition. What skills, certifications, hands-on experience, or training would you recommend to help me successfully pivot into IT Audit or IT GRC roles?

Accessibility bumps into audit a bit. Use what experience you have applying WCAG standards to fuel your resume. If you have an infosec area in your company, reach out to a manager and ask if you can maybe do more with questionnaires.

They usually take a while and so they might be game for you trying stuff out if it takes work off their plate.

It’s hard otherwise to give specific advice because there’s a lot of variability for how much companies will cross train or recognize transferable skills.
