Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Resolving a Conflict Between IT and Cybersecurity | Interview with Jared Leuschen
Q: What should security officers focus on to communicate better with IT and the business?
Educate the organization about risk and protection without slowing progress; demonstrate how security supports business objectives, and create forums for open dialogue where leadership and teams collaborate on practical, balanced controls.
Resolving a Conflict Between IT and Cybersecurity | Interview with Jared Leuschen
Q: Would merging CIO and CISO functions be advisable to resolve the IT-security conflict?
Generally not advisable; both roles require different skill sets and should be at the executive table with equal voices; merging them can blur accountability and weaken focus on independent risk management.
Resolving a Conflict Between IT and Cybersecurity | Interview with Jared Leuschen
Q: Is this kind of governance work better done with consultants as a continuous, fractional support rather than a one-off engagement?
Continuous fractional support is beneficial because governance needs evolve with the business; a dedicated external or fractional team helps maintain momentum, update policies, and ensure accountability across changing landscapes.
Resolving a Conflict Between IT and Cybersecurity | Interview with Jared Leuschen
Q: So how can actually IT teams help build a better cybersecurity governance?
Allow IT teams space to think and contribute from the start, involving them early in policy development and giving them ownership over the parts they implement, so they understand why the changes exist and are motivated to execute them.
Simplifying ISO Standards: Insights and Best Practices | Interview with Jim Moran
Q: So Jim, when speaking about ISO simplification, what exactly do you mean by simplifying ISO?
I mean reducing unnecessary complexity by focusing on purpose, using gap analyses to identify what requirements are already met, and keeping documentation lean through flowcharts and visuals rather than dense manuals.
