What Most People Misunderstand About “Security Controls”

“If you think ‘security controls’ just mean antivirus or firewalls—you’re missing 80% of the job. Let’s fix that.”

A security control is anything that helps reduce risk. And they fall into 3 buckets:

1. Administrative Controls – Think: policies, training, vendor contracts
2. Technical Controls – Like MFA, encryption, intrusion detection
3. Physical Controls – Badge access, locked server rooms, cameras
Here’s where most people go wrong: They assume GRC isn’t “real cybersecurity” because it doesn’t touch the tools. But guess what? GRC pros are the ones who decide which controls are needed, where, and why.

They don’t just plug in tech—they align it with business goals, compliance requirements, and actual risk.

That’s the difference between IT support… and a strategic GRC analyst.
