11:35-12:20
Panel 1: From Checkbox to Control: Building Outcome-Driven GRC That Executives Actually Use

GRC programs deliver value when they shape decisions—investment priorities, risk acceptance, product launches, and third-party relationships—not when they produce binders. This panel explores how to evolve from compliance reporting to outcome-driven governance: defining risk appetite, tying controls to business services, and translating security posture into language boards and business owners can act on. Panelists will share ways to reduce “policy theater,” focus on measurable assurance, and make GRC a lever for speed and trust rather than friction.


12:20-12:40
Lunch Break
12:40-1:25
Panel 2: Continuous Compliance and Audit Automation: Evidence at the Speed of Change

Modern environments change daily—cloud resources, access rights, vendor relationships—while audits still demand proof. This panel dives into continuous compliance: automating evidence collection, mapping controls across frameworks, reducing manual sampling, and detecting control drift in near real time. Panelists will discuss how to implement controls-as-code, integrate with engineering workflows, and keep auditors confident while cutting the operational drag that slows teams down.


1:35-2:20
Panel 3: Integrated Risk Intelligence: Unifying Cyber, Third-Party, and Enterprise Risk Into One Decision Engine

Risk lives across silos—security, privacy, legal, procurement, IT, and business units—often with incompatible tools and inconsistent scoring. This panel focuses on integrating risk data into a shared decision system: normalizing risk language, prioritizing by business criticality, and aligning cyber risk with third-party and operational risk. Panelists will share practical approaches for building cross-functional workflows, improving data quality, and delivering “single pane” insights that support faster, better decisions.
