3 MINUTE VIEWS ON GRC & IT SECURITY ISSUES
(in-between keynote speech)


Are You Caught With Your Hand In the Compliance Cookie Jar?
The company has self-disclosed a bribery allegation to regulators, and the investigation is underway
  • What are the cooperation lessons learnt from an oversight probe
  • What are the compliance challenges between a disclosure and the final settlement
  • How should the remediation begin and the communication and documentation with the supervisory, controlling and monitoring authorities?

What is Efficiency?
Management, articles, auditors, stakeholders are always preaching effectiveness
  • Are we defining Efficiency correctly?
  • How can "Effectiveness" be the cornerstone of modern corporate compliance and ensure the quality of our GRC programs?
  • Why is effectiveness so elusive?

Assessing the Investigations Process
  • What are the pitfalls in best practices in conducting internal investigations?
  • What are the metrics that determine effectiveness, consistency, resources and support, in communicating the inquiry process
  • The handling attrition and protocol of a bad internal investigation
  • Do we need the right standards to prove effectiveness?

The New Buzzwords of IT, Data And Cloud
  • Are the different types of data (such as insufficient or absent data) in Big data a needle in the haystack syndrome?
  • Is it possible to apply metrics/data insights for cyber and IT security effectiveness

Positioning the GRC Program in the Real World
  • Is GRC a merely "paper program" with check-the-box compliance as the tone at the top?
  • Is GRC integration possible in a compliance program and business operations
  • How to harmonise the GRC pillars in branding, training, communications, risk assessments, monitoring, business processes and strategy

Must We Abandon the GRC Jargon?
  • Policies and procedures are often covered in legal jargon with defined terms, acronyms, cross-references, regulatory quotes because they are often written by lawyers for the board or regulators, not for employees
  • Management, on the other hand, has a commitment to corporate culture, values-based ethics programs, and has invested significant efforts in simplifying their policies and automating processes
  • Develop a common platform to combine the above.

How to Jumpstart Compliance
  • Employees on the other hand want transparency, simplification and clear direction
  • What are the far-reaching, values-driven, business-focused actions needed to simplify the path to better compliance and communication between the above stakeholders?
