GRC › Module 10 › Lesson 1
Checklist
Topic 37 capstone checklist — GRC mindset, risk, frameworks, privacy/PCI, controls mapping, audit, gap/evidence, reporting on `$GRC_LAB`.
Visual · t37_capstone_checklist
Checklist consolidates GRC literacy pillars. $GRC_LAB only. Original Cyberlium.
Opening
Capstone proves GRC literacy on YOUR authorized `$GRC_LAB` fictional org — not stranger org audits or forged certification artifacts.
Assemble checklist covering Modules 1–9: GRC mindset and lab scope, risk fundamentals and treatment, ISO/NIST literacy, privacy and PCI literacy, controls mapping, audit process, gap analysis and evidence, reporting and governance. Use on capstone walk of YOUR `$GRC_LAB` — never stranger org audits, never forged audit artifacts, never fake certifications for fraud, never presenting lab as live employer compliance without authorization. Each row links artifact or honest N/A labeled LAB. Notes chmod 600 under $HOME/cyberlium-lab/t37-grc/. Integrity rows: `$GRC_LAB` only, LAB samples labeled LAB, no forged artifacts, educational not legal advice, limitations documented.
1. Scope and ethics
$GRC_LAB named with fictional org template reference. NEVER stranger org audits, NEVER forged artifacts, NEVER fake certifications, NEVER lab-as-live-employer fraud.
Gap/evidence = LAB samples labeled LAB — mandatory on every evidence row.
