Caffeinated Risk McCreight & Leece

Communication isn't effective until the receiver understands the message well enough to take action. That pretty much sums up the challenge facing many risk professionals today, something Paul Mercer resolved, out of necessity, by building  risk management software that is proving to be a welcome solution for many notable customers.

Mr. Mercer is no stranger to the front lines of risk management, starting with the Royal Navy then extensive risk & crisis consulting for international clients. Well known ESRM practitioners are also recognizing the value of Mercer's approach to digital safety and security risk management.

Co-author of the original book on Enterprise Security Risk Management, it only made sense to have Rachelle be the first Caffeinated Risk guest.  Like many guests, there was just too much material for a 30 minute episode. This espresso shot encore digs into that nuanced  topic of truly partnering with business stakeholders.

Sooner or later every risk management professional faces the hard reality that comprehensive risk management programs can't be implemented on spreadsheets. A corporate vice president mandate, minus the funding, started Josh Sokol on  a journey that turned his initial platform solution into an opensource project that morphed into a commercial venture. 

While meeting the risk management and compliance needs of organizations large and small, the Simple Risk founder remains committed to a practical  approach for stewarding cyber security issues and mentoring the next generation of security professionals. 

This episode explores the true GRC platform needs -- not the marketing -- and the cyber security executive's role in enterprise risk management.
