Choose the right perspective
Match the person's industry and regulatory setting to yours, since a bank, a manufacturer and a software company answer to different frameworks and auditors. Ask whether the person built a GRC function from scratch or ran an established one, and how much of the work was policy and controls versus risk management.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How do you decide which security frameworks and certifications to pursue first?
- 02What does a security risk assessment process look like when it actually changes decisions?
- 03How do you keep security policies current without burying teams in paperwork?
