To those who work in Data Privacy/Protection, how tangent is it to GRC?
Hello everyone.
I've been working in CyberSecurity, namely GRC, for a year.
I come from a Data Science and CyberSec background. (I have a master's degree in Linguistic Data Science and another one in CyberSecurity)
While working in GRC I came across DPIA and some small data privacy related compliance projects: well, it turned out I really like working with privacy.
Do you reckon it's possible to pivot to this field without a law degree? I am willing to invest time and money and take the CIPP/E certification to try and have at least a bit of credibility.
Is it getting saturated? I see a lot of job opening even here in Italy, but 90% of them ask for a law background :'(
Thanks a lot in advance!
