For episode 13, I’ll be talking to Hisham Alhakim . Hisham is a Security Compliance Manager, and has focussed his camera on Security, Privacy, and Compliance. Hisham worked at both consulting firms, and in-house. For today's episode we’ll keep things high level and get the perspective of a compliance practitioner. Focusing on assurance, the advantages of FedRAMP, barriers, and underlying standard setting bodies and requirements like your NIST, CISA, FISMA.

Since this episode is a deep dive into compliance, I’ll add a note that Hisham's opinions are that of a practitioner and don’t reflect any current of past employers . And with all policy and compliance advice, please consult with your in-house counsel before implementing any advice from a free podcast.
