GRC for Security Managers: From Checklists to Influence

This transcript summarizes a webcast focused on improving Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) effectiveness: presenters emphasize shifting perception from bureaucratic obstacle to value creator by building cross-functional relationships, communicating risk in business terms, prioritizing and right-sizing controls, and using technology, analytics, and AI to automate routine tasks. Practical advice includes starting with a charter and prioritized list, using clear metrics and dashboards, fostering stakeholder engagement outside of audits, accepting pragmatic (not perfect) implementations, and leading by example to drive cultural change.
