Who has access to your company’s data and what risks do they pose to your organization? While these questions seem basic, most organizations cannot confidently answer them, despite an accelerating trend of third-party threats and incidents. Building a robust third-party risk program is complex and takes time. Building a program that allows information security teams to be strategic in managing third-party risks is even more challenging. 

During this session at the recent ISC2 GRC Virtual Summit, we explored how to successfully implement a strategic and technology-enabled third-party risk program to manage this emerging source of risk.

With 2024 SEC reporting requirements just over the horizon, companies are getting more serious about formalizing their Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) programs. To get a read on how mature these efforts are, AuditBoard has surveyed over 100 companies to benchmark how they are tackling ESG internally. In this webinar, we’ll shine a light on this important new area of enterprise risk and share best practices for building an audit-ready ESG program in preparation for the new SEC requirements.

The proposed SEC rules governing ESG disclosures promise to usher in a new era of regulatory oversight for which many teams are unprepared. They may not know where to start, what compliance with the proposed rules looks like, or even what the ROI of standing up an ESG program might be. This session will cover the specific steps teams can take today, tomorrow, and in the future to prepare for compliance, reduce ESG risk exposure for their organizations, and in the process protect brand equity and stock prices, among other tangible benefits.

Over the past few years, additional documentation and testing requirements have been brought up by the auditors regarding IPE (Information Provided by Entity). With the renewed focus on the IPE, this session focuses on identifying different types of IPEs and their associated risks, discussing system considerations for IPE, sharing our experiences in IPE testing, as well as practice of building a consistent IPE process. We will share examples and learnings from the past few years including SOX readiness initiatives.

Utilizing Technology to Advance Internal Audit in a New Risk Environment

It is no secret that expanding organizational risk profiles, tighter regulations, and rising stakeholder expectations create a demanding assurance landscape for internal audit organizations in the financial services (FinServ) sector. What is frequently overlooked is how traditional audit processes and methodologies limit real-time visibility into risk, hinder agility needed to address changing risk, and mask business-impacting insights. These insights are crucial to advise and partner with the broader organization, and their absence increases the risk of regulatory noncompliance. Join us for this webinar to see how agile auditing provides the flexibility needed to respond and react to the rapid shifts in risk exposure that financial services organizations face.

Who has access to your company’s data and what risks do they pose to your organization? While these questions seem basic, most organizations cannot confidently answer them, despite an accelerating trend of third-party threats and incidents. Building a robust third-party risk program is complex and takes time. Building a program that allows information security teams to be strategic in managing third-party risks is even more challenging. During this session, AuditBoard’s Information Security team will guide you through how they successfully transitioned to a strategic and technology-enabled third-party risk program to manage this emerging source of risk.

Taking a Strategic Approach to Your Third-Party Risk Management Program

Sustainability reporting continues to be a fast-evolving area. There has been an uptick in increased regulation over climate-related financial impact and reporting metrics, greenhouse gas emissions and other disclosure requirements that companies report on. Given that at present there aren’t standardized requirements imposed by the SEC, how can internal audit support their companies in their readiness journey and be better prepared to be in compliance with new guidelines?

IT security doesn't have to be scary. You can do many controls-based reviews without deep expertise. In this session, you will come along on a real-life journey of how Virginia Tech's internal audit team uses several common IT security frameworks to conduct a basic and intermediate-level security controls review of endpoints, servers, and applications. We will focus on the practical and share the pitfalls we've learned along the way with the goal of providing as many resources as possible to help ensure your success.

Using a Framework to Guide an IT Security Review

Digital transformation — largely accelerated by the 2020’s shift to remote work models — altered business operations from a visible set of centrally managed technology assets to a highly distributed, often opaque set of digitally-enabled processes, products, and services. Traditional InfoSec approaches have become fragmented, labor-intensive, and largely insulated from the business at large, an AuditBoard flash poll of information security professionals.

There’s no question that frameworks need to stay relevant with current and emerging threats so organizations can conduct assessments as efficiently as possible and provide practical, yet meaningful, assurances to stakeholders. NIST CSF is a strong base because it’s so practical — so how can companies leverage it to its fullest potential? This session will explore how organizations can get the most value from NIST, including best practices for reporting to the board and investors.

Leveraging NIST to Its Fullest Potential

Cyber breaches and resulting costs reached all-time highs in 2022, with an over 42% global increase in attacks. Organizations want to better prepare for and defend against cyber attacks, but they’re not getting the information they need to do it. Despite the lack of a federal mandate for open disclosure of data breaches and other cyber attacks, the U.S. government is working on solutions. The Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), Cyber Safety Review Board (CSRB), Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and Senate are each working to establish guidance and disclosure protocols for preventing and responding to cybersecurity incidents. The Senate’s proposed Securing Open-Source Software Act of 2022 (SOSSA) is a step in the right direction, but the legislation doesn’t go far enough. During this session, John Wheeler will offer context, break down the legislation and its limitations, and share insights on what’s coming in 2023.

Cybersecurity Disclosures: What’s Coming in 2023

Researchers recently debuted ChatGPT, a prototype conversational AI chatbot that can sometimes appear to be human. This means added complexity for security professionals, since many security tools use attackers' poor command of English to detect and block phishing attacks. Can we expect criminals to soon use tools such as ChatGPT to write lures that seem to have been crafted by a native speaker? Is AI a friend or foe to security? During this panel discussion, a group of security professionals will share their viewpoints on AI and how they see  it impacting the future.

Cybersecurity is one of the most critical issues facing information security and risk management professionals. But, are your systems up to the challenge and are you in compliance with rules being enforced in the US and abroad? The European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation changed the way many companies manage data privacy. California has taken the lead in the states, but will your company be ready if a uniform data security law arises in the US or if more states implement their own rules?

This webinar will delve into how companies should approach compliance management and what processes, assets and risks should be assessed. Attendees will leave the session with a clear picture of what cybersecurity compliance means and why it is vital for companies of all sizes to have a cybersecurity compliance program.
