In this episode of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the GRC Technology Galaxy, Michael Rasmussen sits down with Michael Campbell, Chief Executive Officer of Fusion Risk Management, to make sense of a GRC universe that has expanded to well over a thousand solutions (many trying to be everything, and a few choosing to be very precise).

Michael shares his journey to Fusion and how decades of leading technology companies through growth and transformation shaped his view of risk, scale, and operational reality. From there, the conversation widens to the modern GRC landscape: why it has become so fragmented, why focus matters, and why Fusion has deliberately centered its strategy on resilience rather than generic compliance or catch-all risk tooling.

They unpack what resilience really means today, far beyond business continuity plans and disaster recovery binders, spanning operational, cyber, organizational, and decision resilience. They also explore where risk and resilience overlap, where they diverge, and why confusing the two often leaves organizations exposed at the worst possible moment.

Michael and Michael discuss what truly sets Fusion apart, how customers are pushing the platform in increasingly sophisticated ways, and what’s coming next as resilience becomes a board-level priority rather than a back-office function.

In a galaxy crowded with tools, frameworks, and noise, this episode offers a simple piece of guidance straight from the Guide itself: Don’t Panic
