The discussion highlights the evolution of their partnership, focusing on how Momentum expanded its SOC audit practices from two to six audits, resulting in a stronger security posture and a competitive edge in the market. Key Points:• Momentum's growth strategy included expanding from two SOC audits to six across multiple companies, driving a comprehensive approach to security.• The strategic partnership between Weaver and Momentum focuses on continuous improvement, adapting SOC processes to meet evolving needs.• Momentum's proactive approach to security audits has enhanced customer trust and streamlined their compliance efforts, ensuring long-term success.

Dr. Sandie Morgan is joined by Dr. Alexis Kennedy as the two discuss the importance of self care within the parameters of professional careers. Dr. Alexis Kennedy Dr. Alexis Kennedy is a forensic psychology researcher, and professor at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. She has led federal and state grants to study violence against women and children, and as an expert with more than 30 years of working with human trafficking victims, she knows intimately the risks of developing burnout and compassion fatigue. Dr. Alexis Kennedy works with first responders, health care workers, attorneys, and other helping professionals throughout the US and Canada to stay in important but difficult work without sacrificing their own health. Key Points Burnout and compassion fatigue can take an emotional toll on professionals working with human trafficking victims, that can lead to significant mental and physical exhaustion. Dr. Kennedy emphasizes that self-care is crucial for maintaining effectiveness in high-stress jobs. Professionals must recognize the need to recharge and manage their well-being to avoid burnout. This includes developing healthy routines and taking breaks. Physical and emotional signs of burnout include changes in sleep patterns, appetite, digestive issues, and chronic pain. These symptoms are indicators that stress is impacting one's health and should be addressed proactively. Vicarious trauma can affect individuals who work closely with trauma survivors as the secondary exposure to trauma can be as damaging as direct trauma, leading to symptoms similar to PTSD. Dr. Kennedy provides practical advice for managing stress, such as maintaining a consistent sleep schedule, creating a calming bedtime routine, and avoiding blue light before sleep. She also mentions the importance of finding balance and avoiding overwork. Peer support plays an important role in recognizing and addressing mental health issues, including suicide risk. Tools like the Columbia Lighthouse Protocol can help identify individuals in need of support and facilitate appropriate interventions.

Sandra Morgan 1:55 So you can call me Sandie, can I call you Alexis? Dr. Alexis Kennedy 1:58 Absolutely. Sandra Morgan 1:59 Okay. So when I first heard about you, I had been in Las Vegas meeting Judge William Voy who had started a CSEC court, commercially sexually exploited children, and he was really on the cutting edge of looking at these kids with a different lens. You've been there from the get go with him, it's like you've been swimming in trauma for decades. Can you give us a very tiny glimpse of that?

As the market grows and develops, it changes. Some of these changes include renewed marketplace dependence on third parties. To talk about this change, risk evaluations and direct examinations, host Tyler Kern chatted with Weaver's Neha Patel, Partner-in-Charge of IT Advisory Services, and Alexis Kennedy, Partner of IT Advisory Services. Patel broke down the current marketplace dynamic, "end to end from an operational standpoint, you still see a lot of organizations rely on different organizations to outsource a couple of their activities or processes." There continues to be a need for consistent and relevant transparency in outsourcing, in order to make evaluating and processing risk more accurate. "When you outsource something, you're putting the actual diligence and production of that service on a third party. However, you still retain some level of risk for them to do that appropriately and make sure that they're doing it according to how you would like them to do it," said Kennedy. Knowing if the third party can handle customer data security and deliver on time is essential to evaluating and choosing a third party outsource that can assure business capability. Currently, there are two primary avenues of reporting conducted for companies. SOC 1 focuses on financial controls, internal controls and financial reporting, whereas SOC 2 typically addresses data security, availability and confidentiality. SSAE 21 is different. Kennedy explained, "What we are looking at doing here is providing an avenue by which organizations can take maybe smaller subsets of subject matter and issue an opinion, a report, or get third party assurance." Having an auditor look at the precise controls of a company is especially important for those companies in the immature infancy stage. While the more traditional SOCs are assertion-based examinations, meaning the client must assert they have evaluated and understood the relevant subject matter before the examination, the direct examination puts the initiative on the auditor and does not require the client to provide an assertion prior to the examination. The direct examination pathway may be more attractive for organizations in infancy. SSAE 21, Patel clarified, is “...Less about what management's defining and now more about what the auditor may be comfortable defining and then still providing that same level of assurance. Further, it enables the auditor to perform an examination engagement in which the auditor obtains reasonable assurance by directly measuring or evaluating underlying subject matter against criteria and expressing an opinion that conveys the results of that measurement or evaluation. SSAE 21 also requires the examination report to indicate that the auditor is required to be independent and to meet the auditor's other ethical responsibilities in accordance with relevant ethical requirements related to examination engagements Subscribe and listen to future episodes of Weaver: Beyond the Numbers on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.© 2022

The purpose of SOC reporting is to give insights into business-to-business relationships. Neha Patel, Partner-in-Charge, IT Advisory Services, Weaver, and Alexis Kennedy, Senior Manager, IT Advisory Services, Weaver, joined Beyond the Numbers to talk about the importance of SOC reporting in supply chain management, which is a critical component of many businesses. “The force behind these reports is to allow a business to gain a more transparent look into the operations of the companies they are entering into a relationship with,” Kennedy said. “The SOC for supply chain is also designed to provide the users with information that they may use to assess and manage the risk that may arise from the relationship with that particular supply chain vendor.” “The whole premise of this ‘SOC for supply chain’ is to highlight and give more transparency to what dependencies there are throughout that life cycle,” Patel said. “When you think about the world today, there are global dependencies, timelines, dependencies on delivery—companies manage those risks. So, if a company has a dependence on a producer, or supplier or delivery organization, any impact to those tangential elements could impact their ability to operate effectively."

My guest today is Alexis Kennedy, the founder of Failbetter Games, creator of Fallen London, creative director of Sunless Sea, and as of just a few days ago, the first ever guest writer for BioWare. We talk about how his love of narrative games was awakened playing Colossal Cave on the mainframe at the Oxford University Atmospheric Physics department, the wonder of table top gaming and how Dungeons & Dragons can become a full time job, whether or not the lore in Dark Souls was made up on the fly, the bold decision to leave his job in financial tech and found Failbetter games, and the perhaps even bolder decision to leave that in order to explore his creative process. There's also a bonus segment at the end we recorded just a few days ago about his relationship with BioWare, and how he landed the job as their first ever guest writer.

Cultist Simulator is a difficult game to classify - it’s a card-based strategy game, but also a Lovecraftian weird fiction engine that focuses on discovery through exploration and dreaming. Ian spoke with creators Alexis Kennedy and Lottie Bevan, who collaborated on games like Sunless Sea and Fallen London prior to founding their own studio to make experimental games like Cultist Simulator. They discuss their literary influences, game design goals, and what they’ve learned over the course of the game’s development. Cultist Simulator will launch on Steam May 31.

On this week's episode, Failbetter founder and Paradox/BioWare writer, Alexis Kennedy, joins host Josiah Renaudin to discuss contracted games writing, what it's like working with BioWare, the joys (and difficulties) of the Dragon Age lore, and how to best handle choice/agency in video games.

The Weekenders are joined by special guest Alexis Kennedy, co-founder of Failbetter games (creators of Idle Weekend GOTY contender Sunless Sea), who came by to chat about writing good player-created characters, his work on Stellaris, and a bit about his new gig at BioWare. Also, he's a Farscape fan, which made Danielle an even bigger fan of his.

This week on the podcast I had a fantastic opportunity to meet with some of the team from FailBetter Games based in Greenwich, London. Alexis Kennedy co-founded the studio, and Cash DeCuir joined the team as a writer a little over a year ago. They are best known for their Subterranean Victorian Gothic narrative online game Fallen London, that was just launched on mobile as an iPhone iOS application. As of now, you can check out Fallen London in the App Store and there's a good deal of chance it's right there featured in the best games at the moment. Of course, you can also play the game directly as I used to when it was first released in late 2009 via the Fallen London website. I found out about the game years ago and immediately loved the beautiful writing and mysterious world to explore, as I prepared my initial lists of people I'd like to talk for the podcast, FailBetter Games were right there from the beginning. We talk about their gaming and design inspiration including tabletop roleplaying games and video games, what Fallen London is all about, Sunless Sea (another game available in the same universe) and much more during the episode. Slight warning with regards to language, there is a tiny bit of explicit language so maybe watch out if kids are around.
