Karl and Stefan discuss thoughts on the similarities between two major and rapidly unfolding stories of 2020 - the Twitter Hack and Wirecard. Both environments, who are heavily regulated and audited with strong conventional controls, still left a wide open space to defraud shareholders, manipulate employees and expose customers. 

In 2020, moving people into new environments shifted the security baseline, making employees vulnerable with compromised security awareness. 

What does this tell us about the nature of Controls? Can this even be completely prevented going forward? As even in the strongest castle, you can still find some way to get through the walls.

Karl Viertel (CEO at Alyne), Shiran Weitzman, (CEO at Shield), Danny Gal (CRO at Clausematch) and Koen Vanderhoydonk (CEO at Blanco) talk about their checklist for "New Compliance Normal" with Bayley Benton. 

In recent months, the operations of the financial services have been taken by surprise. During this period, financial services have been embracing innovative technologies in order to continue servicing their clients. This transition has raised many concerns revolving around compliance in the "new" work environment. We are in the midst of a true compliance evolution and a new compliance checklist is required for financial services to remain relevant and compliant.

Recent events have revolutionised the trajectory of business operation and opened the doors for organisations to function collectively, yet in a decentralised manner. This downtime does not signify a pause in compliance and regulation, but rather a time for organisations to review their operational efficiencies as we undergo a true compliance revolution. In our 7 point strategy, Karl and Stefan provide projections for the future of business and compliance. 

In the second segment, the pair discuss Contact Tracing Apps and the privacy, compliance and controls surrounding it. How do you distinguish between tracking and tracing? How do you prevent the misuse of a structure such as this, that is already in place?
