Cost: Free for members; $35 for non-members Topic Details: Standing up or optimizing a GRC program is all about pattern. We will discuss key GRC principles and how they can be used to build or optimize GRC maturity. The components are the same across company industry, company size & company maturity. Understanding some of the basics will help with understanding where this all comes from, having conversations with the compliance team, fulfilling compliance requirements, getting the company ready to be audited or certified, and mitigating findings. This simplified approach isn’t overwhelming or daunting and can still be used to fulfill Regulatory & Framework requirements. Objectives – What you will leave knowing: A rationalized and patternized way to look at the components of a GRC program An understanding of commonalities between regulations and frameworks across industriesThe significance of appropriating controls to your own operationsWhy it’s so important to never ever use the words “shall”, “will”, or “must”, in any of your documents – Some approaches to evidence gatheringRisk Management basics Agenda: Influences: Regulations & FrameworksCompany DocumentsControlsOperational ExecutionEvidence & Pass/FailRisk ManagementMitigation – Audit preparednessContinual improvement Prerequisites: Curiosity, need to know, desire to be able to hold a conversation about this topic and know what you’re talking about Instructor: Karina Klever Bio: Karina Klever has spent over 30 years in technology, starting in 1989 as a computer operator. After programming and decades of project/program managing, compliance took a larger focus starting in the early 2000s. Karina would go onto establish a national audit program office in anticipation of SOX and then oversee an international GDPR implementation – both for Fortune 500 companies. Karina opened her own boutique company, Klever Compliance, to guide midsized companies into establishing GRC COEs that are appropriate for their particular industry, level of maturity, size, risk posture, and goals – since generalization in controls establishment doesn’t fit all companies equally. Karina is a volunteer advisor and volunteer board member.	Sunday April 21 21
