Kortney Nordrum – Social Media and Compliance

Welcome to the Great Women in Compliance Podcast, co-hosted by Lisa Fine and Mary Shirley.

One of the things about social media is that it is always changing and always a challenge for us to address in ethics and compliance.  Today, Lisa is speaking with Kortney Nordrum, VP, Regulatory Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer at Deluxe.  Kortney has been a thought leader in this area through many changes, or as Lisa thinks of it, “from Facebook to TikTok.”

In this wide-ranging discussion, Kortney provides insight on how to develop effective policies to address the use of social media, particularly if there are inappropriate statements.  She talks about the importance of constantly adapting to changes, and how we can use social media in our field.  She also shares her views about ephemeral communications like WhatsApp and WeChat, and how to address the concerns that they raise.

These days, no conversation about social media and compliance would not be complete without a discussion of Twitter.  Kortney gives her perspective what has happened since Elon Musk took over as well as Twitter’s historic issues with hate speech and incendiary accounts and what we can learn from this as E&C professionals.

The Great Women in Compliance Podcast is on the Compliance Podcast Network with a selection of other Compliance related offerings to listen in to.  If you are enjoying this episode, please rate it on your preferred podcast player to help other likeminded Ethics and Compliance professionals find it.  If you have a moment to leave a review at the same time, Mary and Lisa would be so grateful.  You can also find the GWIC podcast on Corporate Compliance Insights where Lisa and Mary have a landing page with additional information about them and the story of the podcast.  Corporate Compliance Insights is a much-appreciated sponsor and supporter of GWIC, including affiliate organization CCI Press publishing the related book; “Sending the Elevator Back Down, What We’ve Learned from Great Women in Compliance” (CCI Press, 2020).

Kortney Nordrum -From Law to Compliance


The Compliance Life details the journey to and in the role of a Chief Compliance Officer. How does one come to sit in the CCO chair? What are some of the skills a CCO needs to success navigate the compliance waters in any company? What are some of the top challenges CCOs have faced and how did they meet them? These questions and many others will be explored in this new podcast series. Over four episodes each month on The Compliance Life, I visit with one current or former CCO to explore their journey to the CCO chair. This month, my guest is Kortney Nordrum, Regulatory Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer at Deluxe.
Back in MN, Nordrum opened her own practice focusing on animal rights, where she saved a bunch of horses and cows from starving. She next worked at Thompson Reuters, working on WestLaw. From there she went to SCCE, where she found her true calling, compliance. At SCCE, Nordrum helped pioneer many initiatives such as the conference the social media lounge/booth/wall, she founded the SCCE blog and the SCCE podcast. She became an expert in social media and compliance. One of her great joys was working with Adam Turteltaub and flying literally around the world evangelizing compliance.

Episode 1 – The Risk of Timing

Welcome to SURVIVE AND THRIVE, the newest addition to the Compliance Podcast Network. This is a podcast where we unpack compliance, crisis disasters and walk you through all the red flags which appear, and give you some lessons learned going forward. This show is hosted by the Compliance Evangelist Thomas Fox and Kortney Nordrum, Regulatory Counsel & Chief Compliance Officer, Deluxe Corporation.  Today’s episode is all about disasters and the unpleasant situations that companies find themselves in. Know more about timing risks and why you should care about when things happen just as much as why they happen accordingly.

Major takeaways discussed in the episode:

  • People are the biggest risk. Humans make choices, and 95% percent of breaches at companies are the result of human error.
  • Ensure having a second set of eyes on every process. And that’s particularly important in compliance. Having a situation where something that was apparently routine but because of timing has moved to a higher risk can be mitigated by having someone else review the process is an appropriate step.
  • Compliance practitioners must have a necessary conversation with leadership, the board, and whoever ultimately is in charge to calibrate and communicate; what kind of risks is your organization willing to put up with on a daily basis?
  • Go out there and make people trust the humans in your compliance team that you are open, you care, and you are diligent in your job that if they report something, it will be appropriately investigated. Doing so is how you build the culture of trust.
