How can you integrate compliance, risk management, and your security framework? Igor Volovich, Vice President, Compliance Strategy at Qmulos, introduced the innovative concept to this discussion: Converged Continuous Compliance. This approach aims to reunite compliance, security, and risk management, which have historically operated independently.
One of the key requirements impacting this new approach is the need to bridge the gap between these functions from both a data and human perspective. These concepts serve as a translator, helping organizations navigate the complex landscape of compliance, security, and risk management. By speaking the language of these three functions, Converged Continuous Compliance brings them together and facilitates collaboration.
Corporate compliance needs to promote new approaches to compliance and risk management by challenging misconceptions, reuniting compliance, security, and risk management, emphasizing data governance oversight, and advocating for automation. These approaches aim to enhance efficiency, increase trust in compliance reports, and ultimately drive a greater return on investment. As organizations navigate the ever-evolving landscape of compliance, it is crucial to consider the impact of new approaches and strike a balance between different factors to achieve effective compliance and risk management.

The award-winning Compliance into the Weeds is the only weekly podcast that takes a deep dive into a compliance-related topic, literally going into the weeds to more fully explore a subject. Looking for some hard-hitting insights on sanctions compliance? Look no further than Compliance into the Weeds! In this episode, Tom and Matt take a deep dive into the Foreign Extortion Prevention Act (FEPA), a groundbreaking law that aims to combat corruption by criminalizing foreign government officials who solicit or accept bribes from US entities.
This law complements the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), which penalizes companies for offering bribes, and introduces new challenges and implications for anti-corruption measures. Tom views FEPA as a long-overdue measure that fills a gap in anti-corruption efforts. He agrees with Matt emphasizes that FEPA addresses a long-standing concern of anti-corruption advocates. Both Fox and Kelly anticipate further guidance from the Department of Justice on how this new law will interact with existing measures under the FCPA. Join Tom Fox and Matt Kelly as they delve deeper into this topic in the latest episode of the Compliance into the Weeds podcast.

Welcome to the award-winning The Hill Country Authors Podcast. In this podcast, Hill Country resident Tom Fox visits with authors who live in and write up the Texas Hill Country. In this episode, Tom visits with author Larry Morris, a science fiction writer from Wimberly, TX.
Larry Morris, a former software architect with over two decades of experience in data processing at BMC Software in Houston, found a new passion in writing science fiction as he approached retirement. After a successful career in the tech industry, Larry transitioned into a successful career as a science fiction author, publishing his first book in 2011.
