Secure your spot at our Annual General Meeting today! You don't want to miss this opportunity to hear from industry leaders!

Tejas Renade, Chief Product Officer at TrustCloud, will present Observable GRC: Your Framework for Better Cyber Risk Quantification and Third Party
Assurance. Today’s GRC workflows are all too often spread out among various silos with no single source of truth. With all this disparate “GRC Sprawl” occurring across sources, leaders lack full visibility, preventing them from knowing the true status of their risk and compliance programs.
What can security leaders do to overcome the challenges of GRC Sprawl? Enter Observable GRC, a framework that sheds light across these various activities and leads to more robust and comprehensive security programs.
This talk will explain how implementing an Observable GRC framework can help with:
● Cyber risk quantification to gain a true picture of the risks facing your organization, their respective business impact, and how to treat them
● Third party assurance to showcase your security posture for customers, vendors, regulators, and others
● Compliance management & audit readiness to maintain continuous compliance with even the most stringent regulatory standards
