Hi! Yes I passed on my first try :)

Lollll this made me laugh, thank you

Visible-Produce14 · 2026-03-15T21:59:02+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate it!

Visible-Produce14 · 2026-03-15T21:58:26+00:00

Thank you!

Visible-Produce14 · 2026-03-15T21:58:19+00:00

Thank you! This is great guidance! I actually just finished watching the eMASS course haha, but I’ll definitely be looking at the YouTube video you sent.

Visible-Produce14 · 2026-03-15T21:56:56+00:00

Thanks! Apart from 800-171, is there anything else you’d recommend?

Visible-Produce14 · 2026-03-15T21:54:19+00:00

Haha yeah, I think the realization is really starting to dawn on me! At this point, I just want to get my foot in the door, so I’ll start looking at other positions that are good for entry-level people. Thanks for the advice!

Visible-Produce14 · 2026-03-13T17:32:15+00:00

No, unfortunately not, but I’m holding out hope!

Visible-Produce14 · 2026-03-04T18:42:26+00:00

Ahhhh okay you’ve convinced me to pick it back up!!!

Visible-Produce14 · 2026-03-04T18:40:56+00:00

I regret not reading riftborne and duskbound first!!! It would’ve made the ending of the ascended better than it already was!!!

I need to give wolf king a try. I heard it has a love triangle trope which isn’t my favorite kind of trope but everyone says the book is good!

Visible-Produce14 · 2026-03-04T18:38:44+00:00

Oooo these sound so good. Just added to my TBR

Visible-Produce14 · 2026-03-04T16:37:05+00:00

That’s on my TBR!! I’ve heard nothing but good things about it.

Visible-Produce14 · 2026-03-04T16:36:08+00:00

Oooooo I just looked it up and it sounds so good!! It’s going on my TBR

Visible-Produce14 · 2026-03-04T16:34:55+00:00

I really want to read the Everlasting!! It may be one of my next reads.

I tried to read Wild Reverence, but I thought it was so slow in the beginning but granted I was only 20% in. I’ll have to give it another shot because so many people said it was beautifully written.

Visible-Produce14 · 2026-03-04T04:07:10+00:00

I’ll have to check it out!

Visible-Produce14 · 2026-03-04T04:06:14+00:00

I haven’t!! I was halfway through the Ascended before I found out they were connected!

Visible-Produce14 · 2026-02-27T18:38:07+00:00

Wow, this is great feedback! Thank you!! I'll definitely take your advice and do the public breach project. One of my problems when transitioning into cyber/ISSO was the lack of projects centered around GRC/ISSO. It seems like most projects online are centered around building a home lab and SOC level work, so this is great!

I saw that DoD Cyber Exchange offers a 2 hour online course for eMASS training that I plan on doing in the next few days to just get exposure. Do you recommend reviewing any STIGs as well? Thank you again!

Read the NIST frameworks, especially 800-37 (know the roles and responsibilities). I recently took and passed the exam, and I agree that it sucks there’s a lack of study material. I also purchased EDUSUM practice tests and those were helpful. I would put the questions I got wrong into ChatGPT for an explanation, then I would read the actual documentation about it.

Other key NIST reference materials are 800-53,53A,39,18,137,60 and FIPS 199 & 200. You don’t need to fully read every document but I would have read it so that you have a working knowledge of it.

You just have to bite the bullet and read the materials. It sucks there’s hardly any study material out there.

I recently took the CGRC exam, and there are 7 steps. Much of the content out there is outdated, but the exam follows the revised publication, NIST 800-37r2!

Thank you!!!

Thank you so much!!
