This week’s guest is Laurie Joyce, Head of Security Compliance at The Australian Red Cross Lifeblood. Laurie has worked in counterterrorism intelligence analysis for the Victorian Police in Australia, and has experience in enterprise compliance and risk management across a number of organisations including his current role at Red Cross Lifeblood as Head of Security Compliance.

In an episode focused on healthcare, Gar and Laurie discuss medical device compliance, the challenges of holding highly sensitive personal health info, and the Red Cross breach which is considered by many as an example of a good breach response. Laurie also walks us through his work in the Reconciliation Action Plan Working Group which ties in nicely with the fact that it was NAIDOC week when this episode was recorded.

Note: There is a brief mention of sexual violence in this episode, please be mindful that this may upset some listeners.
