Danny breaks down exactly what you'll learn and who this workshop is for.

Stuck in IT? Cybersecurity Career Plateaued?

Whether you're trying to break into cybersecurity or already stuck in an entry-level role making half what you should. The bottleneck isn't another certification.

500K+
unfilled cybersecurity jobs in the U.S.
$120K
median salary for TPRM analyst roles
95%
of candidates lack this one specific skill

📉 Sound Familiar?

You've done everything "right." You have your Security+, maybe even your CISSP. Two-plus years of IT support, help desk, or SOC analyst work. But...

  • You've applied to 50+ cybersecurity jobs in the last 6 months
  • You keep getting rejected, or worse, ghosted
  • Every senior posting requires "vendor risk experience" or "TPRM" you don't have
  • Meanwhile, TPRM analysts at the same companies are making $120K to $180K

The certifications got you in the door. One specific skill gets you the six-figure offer.

The Hottest Hiring Niche in Cybersecurity

Defense contractors. Fortune 500. Banks. Healthcare systems. They all need TPRM, and they're paying premium salaries to anyone who can do it.

$110K to $135K

Entry-Level TPRM Analyst

Where IT pros and SOC analysts are landing their first six-figure cybersecurity offers, often with zero prior TPRM experience.

$150K to $200K+

Senior TPRM Roles

Vendor Risk Managers and TPRM Leads. The promotion ceiling after a couple years in the niche.

50,000+

Open TPRM Positions

CMMC mandates and supply-chain regulations have flooded the market with unfilled vendor risk roles, and not enough qualified candidates.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is this workshop for?

Three groups: (1) IT professionals (help desk, sysadmins, network engineers) who want to break into cybersecurity. (2) Entry-level cybersecurity analysts (SOC Tier 1, GRC analysts, compliance) stuck at $60K to $85K who want to break into six figures. (3) Career changers with relevant certs (Security+, CISSP, CISA) who keep getting rejected and need a specialized skill that actually opens doors.

Do I need prior cybersecurity experience?

No. If you have an IT background (help desk, networking, sysadmin) you have enough foundation. The framework is taught from the ground up. The students landing offers fastest are career changers who execute aggressively, not people with the most experience.

Will this really get me hired into a six-figure role?

With execution, yes. The demand is real: tens of thousands of unfilled TPRM positions and not enough qualified candidates. The workshop gives you the technical skill hiring managers are looking for. If you want the rest of the job-hunt playbook (resume rewrites, mock interviews, LinkedIn coaching, hiring-manager intros), that's what the 12-week bootcamp is built for. You bring the applications and the discipline to apply daily.

What if I'm career-changing from a totally non-IT background?

You can still benefit, but you'll move faster if you pair this with a Security+ or CompTIA cert. The framework focuses on the process, communication, and risk-thinking that hiring managers care about, not the technical depth of penetration testing.

What if I can't attend a live session?

The $47 Live Pass is live attendance only, no replays. If you might miss a night, go with the $99 All-Access tier, which includes unlimited replay access to every session. Most All-Access students attend live for the Q&A and rewatch later to review the frameworks.

What's actually different between the $47 and $99 options?

$47 (Live Pass) gets you live attendance to all 3 nights, the student workbook, and community access. No replays. $99 (All-Access) adds unlimited replay access, the vendor assessment scorecard, the interview question primer, the workshop slide deck, and a sample completed assessment report. Heavier career resources (resume rewrites, LinkedIn coaching, 1-on-1 mentorship, mock interviews) are saved for the 12-week bootcamp.

What companies actually hire for TPRM?

Defense contractors (Lockheed, Raytheon, Booz Allen, Northrop), every major bank, healthcare systems, cloud providers, and basically every Fortune 500. CMMC and supply-chain regulations have made this a mandatory hire across industries.

Do you offer refunds?

No. All sales are final. The math: $47 to $99 today buys a skill worth $40K+ in your next role. We attract students who commit and execute, not browsers. If you're not ready to show up for 3 nights and do the work, this workshop isn't for you and you should not enroll.

What's the bootcamp you mention?

A separate 12-week program ($2,000) for students who want 1-on-1 mentorship through the job hunt: resume reviews, mock interviews, weekly accountability calls, and direct intros to hiring managers in our network. Application opens after the workshop ends.

How do I attend?

After you register, you'll get a confirmation email with the Zoom link and calendar invites for all 3 nights. Replays are posted within 24 hours of each session ending.
