When I last spoke with Gaurav Kapoor five years ago, we were in the thick of a global pandemic. Remote work was still a novelty for many, AI was a distant concept for most businesses, and regulatory frameworks were trying to keep pace with the speed of technological change. Fast forward to today, and the conversation around AI and governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) has shifted dramatically. This made it the perfect time for a long-overdue catch-up. In this episode, I welcomed back Gaurav, Vice Chairman and Co-founder of MetricStream, to discuss the changing face of GRC in an AI-driven world. AI has now reached a level of ubiquity that places it alongside electricity and Wi-Fi as a foundational layer of both business and everyday life. But with that integration comes risk, and with risk comes the need for smarter, more adaptive governance. Gaurav shared how AI is no longer just about efficiency gains. It is becoming embedded into the fabric of enterprise risk frameworks, from real-time regulatory monitoring to predictive analytics and risk forecasting. We talked about the impact of the current political climate, including policy shifts following President Trump's return to office and how deregulation narratives are colliding with the complexity of global compliance expectations. This was not just a theoretical discussion. Gaurav broke down real-world use cases that show how large enterprises are navigating everything from redundant compliance testing to emerging threats discovered through AI-driven analysis. He also spoke candidly about the challenges ahead, how companies can fall behind if they wait too long to modernize their frameworks, and what is at stake when they fail to build trust into their AI systems. So how do you evolve GRC in an age where the pace of change is relentless? What role does AI really play in risk leadership today? And how can companies move from reactive to proactive without losing control? Join me as we explore the next chapter of GRC with one of its leading voices.

At 16, Shellye Archambeau already knew she wanted to be a CEO. And early in her career at IBM, after closing a massive deal with RiteAid, it felt like she was well on her way. But then, at the last minute, the deal fell through. Shellye felt utterly defeated - until a conversation with her husband helped her realize that there had been a failure … but that didn't mean she was a failure. Shellye went on to have a thriving career at IBM and beyond, with the lessons learned from that early setback helping her overcome all the challenges she faced along the way. By the time Shellye became CEO of the software company Metricstream, she felt like she was ready to handle anything. But then the Great Recession of 2008 hit. Just like that, business dried up. Suddenly, Shellye was faced with one of the most difficult decisions of her career. Would they fold? Or would they fight? In this episode, Shellye joins Brenda to talk about the importance of demonstrating resilience as a leader when times get tough, why a great team is everything, and how you can turn your lowest career moments into a productive story to share in your next job interview.  For more, check out Shellye and her work...

Craig Callé talks about third party risk management (TPRM) and cyber security. TPRM is a subset of Governance Risk and Compliance (GRC), which aims to help organizations achieve their objectives, address uncertainties, and act with integrity. TPRM is crucial as over half of all data breaches occur through insecure third parties. Companies need to understand their relationships and monitor them more carefully, which requires a variety of tools and processes. Chris explains that third party risk management includes cybersecurity, reputation management, supply chain issues, and other risk categories such as financial liability. Cybersecurity has become the primary focus due to the numerous issues it addresses. Privacy is another important risk, with regulations like GDPR in Europe, CCPA in California, and others worldwide ensuring companies have a firm grip on consumer data. Companies must follow through with privacy regulations unless they can follow data to third parties. Areas of Scrutiny in Third Party Risk Management Craig mentions that ESG and sustainability are also areas of scrutiny, as companies must ensure their third parties align with their company's goals and objectives. However, he stresses that one must also be aware of laws pertaining to sanctions around the world. Issues of reputation, child labor, anti-money laundering, and bribery, are also important to be attentive to, not just for their own company but also for third parties they work with. Defining Third Party Risk Management Chris explains that third party risk management and enterprise risk management, are all subcomponents of GRC. He mentions that the term includes outsource providers, software as a service (SaaS) apps, cloud hosts, contractors, ecosystem partners, technology partners, and counterparties. Emergency third party risk management is a broader category that includes enterprise risk management, business continuity or operational resilience, compliance, and internal compliance. Global Risk Control (GRC) includes enterprise risk management, a risk register, business continuity or operational resilience, and compliance. A risk register compiles all the potential threats that can impact a company, and it is crucial to continually build a more predictable and measurable system to achieve its objectives at the lowest possible risk. GRC Frameworks Craig adds that business continuity or operational resilience is an important aspect of GRC, as it involves a set of controls and risks in place to understand where the company is in the journey and be able bounce back when bad things happen. Compliance is another area under GRC, as it involves creating a methodology for ongoing monitoring of operations and ensuring compliance with global rules and regulations. He mentions that a lot of GRC work involves picking a framework and building a program around it; for example, in cybersecurity circles, a popular standards body would be NIST, and he mentions a few others that give leaders a roadmap apropos to achieving high standards of operation. Governance in Risk Management Strategy Craig states that, in the context of Global Risk Control, the governance aspect is a crucial part of the organization's overall risk management strategy and that it is set in the roadmaps that have been developed with a team for each area, such as compliance or continuity.  The head of GRC is responsible for overseeing the system and ensuring that the organization operates within its control frameworks. For example, in a Fortune 500 company, a C-suite executive responsible for GRC would report to a Chief Risk Officer or CRO, with a solid line to the CEO and a dotted line to the board audit and risk committee.He goes on to explain various titles that may be given to the person in charge of GRC and why he believes there is a deficiency in putting all risks under one umbrella. The Director of Third Party Risk Management Role Explained The director of third party risk management might have several processes, such as onboarding new third parties, periodic audits, ongoing real-time monitoring, reporting functions, and investigating and dealing with incidents and responses. However, the responsibilities depend on the organization's level of maturity and the complexity of the process. David offers a few examples to clarify the complexity of the many situations involved that have to be taken into consideration, including the fact that risk management processes can often be seen as blockers, and additionally, offers a tip on how to overcome this issue.  The Importance of Third Party Risk Management in Organizations The discussion revolves around the importance of third party risk management in organizations. It discusses the use of questionnaires and cyber risk ratings, which are non-invasive and objective tools that help triage the community of third parties and quantify vulnerability to data breaches. These tools allow TPRM professionals to compare responses on lengthy questionnaires with objective data, allowing for deeper discussions and corrective action when necessary. The discussion also touches on the need for human involvement in the processes, as automation has become increasingly popular. AI has become an important tool for parsing through voluminous data to identify central facts. However, human involvement remains an essential element in the process. Software for Third Party Risk Management Craig talks about the different types of software within the third party risk management universe. Some of the essential platforms include workflow automation platforms like Process, Unity, MetricStream, ServiceNow, LogicGate, BitSight and more. These platforms facilitate the issuance of assessments, review of responses, and routing to specific people or groups within an organization. Cyber risk ratings, which have been around for over 10 years, represent over half the market share and are now a natural complement to flow platforms. They provide easy-to-digest results that don't require an IT certification and are not based on FICO scores or letter grades. Overall, the discussion emphasizes the importance of human involvement in the third party risk management process to ensure effective and influential outcomes. Forecasting Improvements in the GRC Arena Craig believes that over the next decade, the focus of third party risk management will evolve from a risk focus within GRC to a high-electron level orchestration across CISOs, risk officers, and procurement people. This will lead to a more comprehensive view of risk and performance, ensuring that companies are not just scratching the surface when it comes to the risk aspects of third parties. Craig talks about the importance of selecting the right software for clients, highlighting the pros and cons of a best of breed approach versus a multi-module suite and a GRC-oriented suite. He explains that there are pros and cons to sharing data across modules, but there is also an opportunity for cross-sharing information across platforms. For example, if a company has a privacy module and wants to attack vendor risk, there is a natural logic to connect the data map to third parties that might pull data that needs to be aware of. However, this can be a different silo, and it can be difficult to cross-share information across platforms. He also emphasizes the need to understand the problem and inherited solutions, as well as the timeframe and budget constraints.  Timestamps: 05:15 Third-party risk management and GRC 11:57 GRC roles and responsibilities in a Fortune 500 company 16:10 Third-party risk management processes and responsibilities 21:59 Third-party risk management software and techniques 27:26 Third-party risk management and platform automation 32:21 GRC and third-party risk management Links: Company Website:https://sourcecalle.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/craigcalle/ Unleashed is produced by Umbrex, which has a mission of connecting independent management consultants with one another, creating opportunities for members to meet, build relationships, and share lessons learned.

By Adam Turteltaub The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) Criminal Division Evaluation of Corporate Compliance Programs document was updated in March 2023. Since then compliance teams and the broader compliance community have examined it closely, searching to better understand the government's expectations. Gaurav Kapoor, co-CEO and co-founder of MetricStream, sees an overarching key message to the update: The DOJ expects organizations to have a well-designed compliance, ethics and risk program and, with it, the ability to closely evaluate and monitor its effectiveness. The bar has definitely been raised. So what should the compliance team do? First, to his reading, the DOJ is encouraging organizations to follow connected, holistic approaches to compliance programs. Second, how you train and communicate must be well organized and integrated into business processes. Third, third-party risk must be scrutinized and the interconnectedness with the business must be made more visible. As for boards, they need to understand that they must continue to play their role in the business and risk governance. They must also, though, act in overseeing the risk management and compliance programs and ensuring they are successful. To that end, boards need to ensure that these programs are sufficiently funded and led, understand where compliance reports and remove any conflicts of interest. Listen in to learn more about these topics as well as adopting a compliance culture, looking beyond the guidance, and the proliferation of guidance documents that compliance teams need to navigate.

Listen to our interview with Simrin Jhangiani, Product Marketing Lead for MetricStream's ESGRC product. MetricStream is the world's largest independent provider of governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) products & solutions.

Can you explain how ESG can be aligned with a company's overall business strategy? What are some of the challenges that companies face when it comes to implementing ESG initiatives, and how can they overcome these challenges? How does technology play a role in ESG?   Why is it valuable to have ESG as a part of a GRC strategy?  If you want to be our guest, or you know some one who would be a great guest on our show, just send your email to info@globalriskconsult.com with a subject line “Global Risk Community Show” and give a brief explanation of what topic you would like to to talk about and we will be in touch with you asap.

Shellye Archambeau knew as a teenager she wanted to grow up and become a CEO. But when Shellye started as an undergraduate at the Wharton School of Business in 1980, there were just two female CEOs of large corporations, and none of the CEOs of Fortune 500 companies were Black. Despite the lack of representation, Shellye became the first Black woman to lead a division of IBM overseas. She broke barriers and took risks leading to a successful career with leadership positions at Blockbuster, Zaplet and MetricStream. Shellye's book, Unapologetically Ambitious: Take Risks, Break Barriers, and Create Success on Your Own Terms, details her singular approach to leadership, and her advice for taking ownership of one's career.

Often we fail to fulfill our dreams not because they're big, but because we lack enough intention to pursue them.  Regardless of how great your ambitions may become, it's never too hard. It only takes being intentional, purposeful, and committed to achieve your goals. In this episode of Fifth Dimensional Leadership podcast, I interview Shellye Archambeau, Fortune 500 Board Director. Shellye is the former CEO of MetricStream, a governance, risk, and compliance software company based in Palo Alto, California.

On top of that, Shellye serves on four corporate boards: Verizon, Nordstrom, Roper Technologies, and Okta, and is a Strategic Advisor to the Royal Bank of Canada, Capital Markets Group. Shellye is a great example of a truly ambitious woman, who has ascended the ranks and created a name for herself in the technology industry. She's incredibly purposeful, intentional, and driven. She has a powerful story to share about defying the odds that she also shares in her book, Unapologetically Ambitious: Take Risks, Break Barriers, and Create Success on Your Own Terms In our conversation, Shellye talks about being purposeful and intentional in turning your ambitions into everyday decisions, which is the key to achieving your dreams. Key Takeaways: How being purposeful and intentional propels a leader and why ambition is not enough Understanding the what, why, and how of Imposter Syndrome What it takes to serve on not one, but  four corporate boards  How getting a “seat-at-the-table-job”, where interacting with the CEO and board enhance the odds of advancing Moving forward from the loss of her life partner. How to be an intentional leader during this disempowering time Homework does not end in school; always do your homework. Quotes “A lot of people set goals, and some plan to achieve them, but very few people make everyday decisions consistent with those plans where the power lies.” - Shellye Archambeau   “Risk and reward are two sides of the same coin.” - Shellye Archambeau   “Being intentional about watching, learning, and listening will make you a valued manager and leader going forward.” - Shellye Archambeau   Find cheerleaders, those who remind you how good you are.” - Shellye Archambeau   “The higher you rise, the more your reputation plays a role in what opportunities come your way.” - Shellye Archambeau   “A lot of people focus on the next job they want, but you've got to nail the job that you have to set yourself up for the next one.” - Shellye Archambeau   “The more you do to increase your ability to have more options means you get more choice, which helps you make better decisions.” - Shellye Archambeau
