GRC Engineering: The Manifesto and Beyond!

GRC Engineering: The Manifesto and Beyond!

Author: BKBT Productions January 27, 2025 Duration: 59:39
This week we dive into GRC Engineering with Justin Pagano, Emre Ugurlu, and returning guest Terra Cooke, three of minds behind the new GRC Engineering Manifesto. We tackle: * Why GRC folks are engineers (yes, really!) * Moving beyond "legacy GRC" into systems thinking * Building GRC tools that engineers actually want to use * The intersection of AI and compliance automation This one gets nerdy! But if you want to understand how modern organizations can take a systems-based approach to governance while keeping engineers happy, this episode is for you. Check out the manifesto and repo at grc.engineering [https://grc.engineering/] and join the conversation! 🛠️ Manifesto authors * Ayoub Fandi * Akshay Finney * Austin Rust * Charles Nwatu * Emre Ugurlu * Justin Pagano * Terra Cooke * Varun Gurnaney ———— 🇨🇦 We'll be setting the stage on fire with the opening keynote at SecureWorld Toronto on April 8th.

There’s a lot of noise in the world of technology talk, but Bare Knuckles and Brass Tacks cuts through it with a focus on the people behind the products and the societal currents shaping our digital landscape. Hosts George K and George A steer conversations that are less about specs and hype, and more about real-world consequences. You’ll hear them dig into topics like the messy rollout of new AI tools, the often-invisible backbone of digital infrastructure, and why communities adopt or reject certain technologies. This podcast regularly features guests from various fields who offer unvarnished opinions on what’s genuinely functional and what’s fundamentally flawed in our tech-saturated lives. The discussions move beyond simple commentary to challenge the standard narratives promoted by the tech industry, examining the cultural and social ripples of every new development. It’s a show for anyone who feels that technology coverage often misses the human element-the frustrations, the adaptations, and the ethical dilemmas. Tune in for a grounded, critical, and consistently engaging dialogue that connects the dots between code and culture. This production from BKBT Productions lives up to its name, getting down to the brass tacks of how technology is built and used, with a bare-knuckle honesty that’s increasingly rare.
