⚙️ Your GRC Program Has No Garbage Collector. So It Leaks.

⚙️ Your GRC Program Has No Garbage Collector. So It Leaks.

A control that passes perfectly, while the risk it was built for quietly died. Your dashboard can't tell it apart from one that still matters.

⚙️ A Lot Of GRC Work Is Performative. So Was Security, Once Upon a Time.

GRC looks performative because it owns activity, not outcomes. GRC Engineering is how you flip that by owning decision-support at .

⚙️ You Spent a Year Learning to Use AI for GRC. The Real Skill Is Assessing It.

⚙️ You Spent a Year Learning to Use AI for GRC. The Real Skill Is Assessing It.

The SOC 2 narratives, questionnaire answers and control docs crossing your desk are now written by AI, and built to pass, not to be true. Leaning on AI to check them erodes the judgment that would have caught them. Here is how to stay sharp!

❤️ I just started at Lovable. 5 things I've been thinking about as I'm onboarding.

You're shipping from day one. The question is whether you understand what you're building into. Five things I focus on in parallel with the build, so I don't lock in the wrong decisions early.

⚙️ GRC as Git: A Mental Model for your Whole Programme

⚙️ GRC as Git: A Mental Model for your Whole Programme

Borrow the discipline behind modern software, and apply it to policy, controls, risk, and TPRM in whatever tools your team already uses. Without forcing your team into Git, and without pretending the audit trail you already keep is somehow not a Git workflow.

⚙️ What If Compliance Was Just a Query on Data You Already Collect?

⚙️ What If Compliance Was Just a Query on Data You Already Collect?

Observability exists because understanding the true state of a system is hard. Control for the same reason. GRC Engineering can help you get there by leveraging observability principles.

⚙️ GRC Teams Are Getting More Capable Than Ever But The Shape Looks Different.

Why the future GRC team looks more like a basketball team than a football team, what that means for ICs and managers, and how to position yourself for either path.

⚙️ Your GRC Program Serves the Audit. The Best GRC Engineering Programs Don't.

How the discipline collapsed into evidence collection, what enterprise GRC teams I know actually focus on, and why the audit should be a translation layer, not the foundation it's built on.

💬 Build vs. Buy: We Did Both. Here's What We Learned (RSAC 2026 Talk Summary)

We cycled through four GRC tools in four years before we built our own. The exercises that made us better builders are the same ones that make you a better buyer.
