Sounds like with your two skillsets, compliance and/or internal audit would be a good job for you. These jobs often rely on reading legal-ish documents such as HIPAA, PCI, and GDPR and interpreting them for your company's unique situation, then either overseeing the implementation of IT policies or actually implementing the IT policies yourself to control the IT systems appropriately.

With internal audit you're generally overseeing the compliance folks (from a distance), as a compliance person you're more often implementing the technology yourself. Another role to look into is risk management. All of them are a small step back from "hard" IT like sysadmin or programming and getting more into the people and process side of the IT house.

Spot on! I moved from infrastructure engineer to risk management (governance, risk, compliance). You need the technical experience to translate compliance and governance requirements into technical requirements.

Highly recommend the move for anyone who doesn’t want to be on call or carry a pager anymore.
