About Course
About IT GRC Training
Chennai's OMR and Guindy corridor carries one of the largest concentrations of banking operations and shared-services centres in India, and every one of those functions runs under audit. Compliance work in Chennai is therefore built around evidence rather than policy statements: control testing for RBI-regulated banks, DPDP readiness for the data centres along OMR, and the annual ISO 27001 surveillance audit that covers all of it.
The city also has the deepest supply of people who already understand audit because they have sat on the other side of it. Programme graduates from Chennai most often move into ITGC testing, privacy operations and internal audit roles inside the same organisations they already work for.
This Chennai page carries the same 12-week, 72-hour IT GRC Training syllabus, faculty and assessment as the master programme, delivered live online and in hybrid format, with classroom batches at our Thoraipakkam centre.
Course Overview
12-week IT GRC training at SkilBrill (72 hours) covering ISO 27001, NIST CSF, COBIT, DPDP Act and GDPR governance, risk and compliance. Live online and classroom.
Why Learn IT GRC Training
Banks and NBFCs along OMR run continuous ITGC testing, so candidates who can produce a working paper get shortlisted before those who can only describe a framework.
Tidel Park and Guindy host shared-services centres whose parent companies audit them against ISO 27001 every year, creating steady internal-audit openings.
Chennai's hospital and diagnostic networks are building DPDP-compliant consent and retention programmes, and there are far fewer privacy analysts than roles.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is IT GRC training?
IT GRC training covers governance, risk and compliance as a single discipline: how an organisation is directed, how uncertainty is assessed and treated, and how it proves it meets its legal and regulatory obligations. The SkilBrill programme builds the capability to run that programme end to end, from policy through controls to audit evidence.
What does the IT GRC syllabus cover?
Eight modules across 72 hours: governance architecture and the three lines of defence, risk management under ISO 31000 and NIST RMF, the regulatory landscape including the DPDP Act, GDPR, SOX and RBI and SEBI requirements, standards such as ISO 27001, ISO 27002, NIST CSF and COBIT, control design and assessment, the internal audit lifecycle, privacy and third-party risk, and a capstone compliance programme with an audit simulation.
What is the duration and fee of the IT GRC course?
The programme runs for 12 weeks with 3 sessions per week of 2 hours each, totalling 72 classroom hours. Fees are ₹45,000 – ₹75,000 depending on the batch and mode. Weekday, weekend and evening batches are available in classroom, live online and hybrid formats.
Which certifications does this course prepare me for?
The curriculum maps to ISO 27001 Lead Auditor, ISACA CISA and (ISC)2 CGRC, plus SkilBrill's own course completion certificate. Exam fees are separate and paid to the awarding body.
What job roles can I pursue after IT GRC training?
Compliance Analyst, GRC Analyst, Information Security Analyst, IT/Internal Auditor, Risk Manager, Privacy Analyst and eventually GRC Manager or Head of Compliance. Typical Indian salary bands run ₹6 – 18 LPA depending on prior experience, with audit and regulated-sector roles at the higher end.
Do I need a technical background for IT GRC?
No. Compliance and audit work is evidence- and judgement-driven rather than hands-on system engineering. Law, commerce, IT and science graduates all enter the field. The programme starts from first principles and assumes no prior audit or security experience.
Is classroom training available in Chennai?
Yes. SkilBrill runs classroom batches in Chennai, alongside live online and hybrid modes — all three follow the same syllabus, labs and faculty.
