Trekking Through Compliance – Episode 36 – Risk Management Lessons from Catspaw

In this episode of Trekking Through Compliance, we consider the episode Catspaw, which aired on October 27, 1967, and occurred on Star Date 3018.2.

Strange things happen to a landing party consisting of Jackson, Sulu, and Scotty when they beam down to planet Pyrus 7. When Kirk, Spock, and McCoy beam down to investigate, leaving DeSalle in command and Chekov as his sidekick, they are enveloped in fog. They also detect multiple life readings, even though the Enterprise’s sensors only detect the landing party. They are all captured by Korob and Sylvia.

Meanwhile,  Enterprise is breaking free through DeSalle’s efforts. Korob sets Kirk and Spock free and tells them to leave immediately because he can no longer control Sylvia. Kirk grabs Korob’s scepter, and after fending off attacks from McCoy, Scott, and Sulu, Kirk tells Sylvia that he has the scepter. Kirk breaks the scepter in front of Sylvia. The castle vanishes, and Sylvia and Korob appear as the bizarre blue and yellow puppet-like alien beings they are. Unable to survive in this galaxy without the transmuter, they shrivel up and melt away, and Sulu and Scott are returned to normal.

Commentary

The story follows a landing party encountering strange, supernatural events on planet Pyrus 7, leading to valuable compliance lessons. Key takeaways include maintaining situational awareness, establishing effective incident response, identifying and mitigating supply chain vulnerabilities, fostering a culture of skepticism, prioritizing resilience, and empowering cross-functional collaboration. The episode uniquely ties the plot’s elements to practical compliance and risk management learning.

Notable Quotes:

“But when you think about it, we have a lot of external factors, such as the rise of cryptocurrency, which is riddled with fraud and corruption risk. New methods of cyber-based fraud, which didn’t exist, say, 2016, the 2010s before that. Rise of ransomware in particular, which wasn’t quite a big thing back then that it is all over the place now.”

“Most frauds, you the risk management function, you might never catch them. By looking for them, you’ll have to depend on somebody else coming to you from the enterprise, say, I think this person over here is doing something sketchy.”

“Fraud is having a moment. And fraud risk is on the forefront of many people’s minds from many different areas.”

“We need to do better at finding ways to assess and understand your fraud risk and then implementing new controls as necessary to push that risk down to acceptable levels.”
