In this episode, we’re going to discuss insider threats. The term means different things to different people. Broadly, the term refers to any person or entity who has trusted insider access behind an organization’s firewall or inside their secure perimeter. “Insiders” include employees, officers, contractors, temporary workers, and certain categories of vendors and suppliers that either have unescorted access to an organization’s physical premises or who perform some type of important software or network function and have been granted administrator access to the organization’s network. All insiders pose a potential threat. It is a matter of degree and whether they have an inclination to abuse their position of trust.

Compliance into the Weeds is the only weekly podcast which takes a deep dive into a compliance related topic, literally going into the weeds to more fully explore a subject. This week Matt and Tom take a deep dive into the first FCPA enforcement action involving a company in 2021, the Amec Foster Wheeler global anti-corruption enforcement action. Some of the issues we consider are:
- What were the underlying facts?
- Were red flags missed, consciously avoided or outright ignored?
- Where was compliance?
- How corrupt was the culture of Foster Wheeler?
- What does this mean for compliance going forward?
