Why is it that companies with mature security and compliance organizations, who use the typical industry standards, frameworks, and risk management practices, and have all the vendor tools available -- are still getting hit with massive regulatory fines, and ongoing class action lawsuits?

> Because there is a misalignment between corporate efforts and legal expectations.

• Alignment with Legal Expectations: While traditional risk management often focuses on general industry standards and best practices, Defensible Governance aligns risk analysis with the specific legal standards used by regulators and courts.
• This includes incorporating legal concepts like "due care," "reasonable person," and "reasonable and appropriate safeguards" directly into the risk assessment process.

This podcast discusses a forward-thinking approach and tools to implement it.
