GRC & Me

Great conversations leave you wanting more and that is exactly what happened when LogicGate's own Megan Phee appeared with James (Jim) Rees on Razorthorn's podcast. So when they both felt like there was more to discuss, we invited Jim to join us on GRC & Me. Jim is Razorthorn's Managing Director and Principal Security Consultant with decades of experience in information security. He has worked with some of the largest and most influential organizations worldwide. In this episode of GRC & Me, Megan and Jim continue their chat on the ever-changing complexities of compliance, how regulatory models ask for consistency, and quick wins for those starting on their InfoSec and GRC journeys.

At GRC & Me, we like to go big or go home. In this episode, we do just that and take on the topic of global standards. We brought in the perfect person for the task, Rob Fulcher, Head of Sales for the Americas at CUBE. Rob chats with LogicGate's Director of International Sales, Megan Phee, about why we find ourselves in our current regulatory situation, how and where global standards can help, and how new technology can help or hinder the future state of regulatory standards.

It seems like everywhere you look there’s a new article about the “Great Resignation” and the challenges with keeping talent. Businesses, regardless of industry, are being impacted. So where do we go from here? In this episode of GRC & Me, LogicGate’s CEO, Matt Kunkel, and new Chief People Officer, Caroline Werner, chat about the reality of the current talent landscape, what they’ve learned from the last few years, and how they’re adjusting their strategies to help adapt.

Our customers' success means a lot to us at LogicGate. That is why we decided to have no other than Szuyin Leow, VP of Customer Success, as a guest host. Szuyin sits down with one of our rockstar customers, Stephen Crouch from Texas Mutual. Stephen is a risk analyst in the workers' compensation insurance space and at Texas Mutual, he quickly got involved with revamping the vendor risk management program. In this episode, Stephen recounts his GRC journey. He highlights how he has seen vendor risk management evolve, plus other reflections and best practices to build successful vendor risk management programs.

We decided it was time for some inner reflection here at GRC & Me. Or, in GRC terms, an Internal Audit. Guest host Heath Anderson, LogicGate's Information Security Leader, does just that as he goes in-house and turns the mic on LogicGate's own Security Compliance Manager, Elizabeth Walker. Elizabeth is a fountain of knowledge for LogicGate and the GRC community. In this episode, Elizabeth defines what internal audit means, her perspective on the players, personalities, and challenges, and some valuable tips from her playbook.

At the end of last season, we learned how resilience, agility, and integrity are perfect additions to GRC practices that merit more focus. In this episode, we kick off season five of GRC & Me and continue this discussion by looking deeper into resiliency and agility. To get us there, LogicGate's CEO, Matt Kunkel, speaks with Chris Patteson, The Risk Wrangler, to help us understand what resiliency and agility mean for organizations and their boards.

For centuries philosophers have given us the four cardinal virtues: prudence, justice, fortitude, and temperance. For the GRC community at large, there is more than enough room to add to these to cover our unique world and its dealings. At LogicGate, we think that resilience, agility, and integrity are perfect additions.

In our season 4 finale of GRC & Me, LogicGate CEO Matt Kunkel and GRC expert Michael Rasmussen covered resilience and agility. In this episode, the two are back to discuss integrity and apply it to the latest GRC trend, ESG or Environmental, Social, and Governance.

It's a new year, and that means new resolutions. Move over pushups and pilates; we're kicking off the new year with a two-part podcast meant to get your 2022 off to a great start. If you are looking to have a more resilient and agile GRC program — and to find out how these two intersect with GRC practices and why they matter — then you have come to the right place!

In this episode of GRC & Me, Michael Rasmussen and our CEO Matt Kunkel discuss why resiliency is critical for a risk management program. Michael also provides insights into how agility aligns with your organization's strategic plans.

Have you ever wondered what exactly holistic GRC is? What does it look like, and do people really mean when they say a “holistic GRC program”?

In this episode of GRC & Me, returning guest Dustin Owens, VP of Cyber Risk and Resilience at Kivu Consulting, will break down all the what's, how's, and why's regarding holistic GRC programs and platforms. Dustin also shares some GRC stories about how companies use a holistic GRC approach to achieve business outcomes.

Have you ever worried about how you should communicate risks to the board? How much data can they handle?

In this episode of GRC & Me, we are joined by Richard Seiersen, who has previously worked for Twilio, GE, and LendingClub as CISO, was a co-founder of Soluble that was acquired by Lacework in 2021, and is currently the Chief Risk Officer at Resilience Insurance. His books include How to Measure Anything in Cybersecurity Risk and The Metrics Manifesto: Confronting Security with Data. Together with Mark Tattersall, VP of Product at LogicGate, we get the skinny on what kind of conversations are happening at the board level and what they really want to see and hear, plus, the rise of insurtech, technology being a driver for consistency, and how all these topics inspired Richard to write his books.
