Governance, Risk, & Compliance…so What? – Part 2 – Allan Alford – SCW #94
Join us on this episode of SCW for a general discussion about how to do this whole security/compliance thing better; how compliance really needs to come first; how it's all risk-based or should be RGC not GRC; legal and privacy issues/focus - and how they help or hinder the cause; other factors like burnout/gatekeeping/etc. that all contribute to our industry being overly focused/reliant on technology and don't handle the people/process part very well.
