The risk landscape for organizations has changed significantly in the past few years. Traditional ways of identifying and mitigating risks simply do not work. They focus primarily on external threats when risks from within the organization are just as prevalent and harmful. Additionally, regulations change frequently, and it is difficult for security and compliance leaders to keep up on these changes.
The Compliance Podcast Network is therefore thrilled to have back for a limited series, the Microsoft podcast, The Uncovering Hidden Risks, which will explore the need for enterprises to quickly move to a more holistic approach to data protection and reduce their overall risk. The show will cover an array of topics, across data governance, risk management, and compliance. It will address industry trends and customer pain points.
In each episode Erica Toelle, Sr. Product Marketing Manager for Microsoft Purview, partners with a Microsoft guest host to interview a guest leader in the data governance and compliance industry. These experts have a unique and deep understanding of the challenges organizations face, and the people, processes, and technology used to address them.
We are excited to have this podcast made available to the listeners of the Compliance Podcast Network so that they may listen in to these conversations as Erica and her Microsoft colleagues discuss a range of interesting topics, ranging from trends, best practices, and real-life strategies for developing a holistic data governance and risk management program.
The Uncovering Hidden Risks podcast will launch on Wednesday, September 28th with the first episode in the series.

Transitioning to a holistic approach to data protection
Guest Bret Arsenault, CVP, CISO at Microsoft joins us on this week’s episode of Uncovering Hidden Risks to discuss how a holistic approach to data protection can deliver better results across your organization and the three steps that can get you there. Erica Toelle and Talhah Mir host this week’s episode to chat with Bret about current trends in the data protection space, what data protection issues are top of mind, and how teams should start on their data protection strategy.
Thomas Fox and Michael DeBernardis discuss the inner workings of bribery in the tech industry, specifically cases involving HP, Microsoft, and Panasonic, the DOJ and SEC driving home the benefits of voluntary disclosure and their response to future cases, and how companies can practice due diligence even within internal controls.
Key points discussed in the episode:
✔️ Thomas Fox gives a brief background on the cases involving HP, Microsoft, and Panasonic.
✔️ Michael DeBernardis lays out the DOJ and SEC’s investigative process, with a focus on the benefits of voluntary disclosure. Data analytics has also been tossed in the forefront as Microsoft pioneered the transparency of looking into their distributor models and has now been added to compliance guidelines.
✔️ Petty cash has been proven to be an aspect worth examining as HP’s bribery case revolved around the lack of controls. HP’s schemes in Germany and Mexico also emphasized why training your team – whether contractual or full-time – should be trained to handle high-risk situations.
✔️ Internal and compliance controls must be interconnected. Otherwise, wrongdoers will find loopholes and take advantage of them. Making sales to a foreign government also means putting a target on your back.
✔️ Thomas Fox goes into detail about Panasonic’s case regarding corrupt agents, Microsoft’s move towards transaction monitoring, and HP’s suspicious commission discounts coinciding with the Parker Drilling case.
✔️ The DOJ has now provided clear guidance for compliance. Companies are now encouraged to fully disclose their transactions to benefit them in terms of credibility and reduced total penalties.
✔️ Greatly improving their responses, the DOJ has understood the value of cooperation and voluntary disclosure and widened its body of FCPA cases, making it easier for lawyers to counsel companies in preventing future issues from happening.

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 are pleased to host Mike Volkov, host of the Corruption Crime and Compliance podcast on the Compliance Podcast Network. Mike formerly worked in the DOJ, Antitrust Division. We consider the current evolution of antitrust enforcement by the DOJ and FTC and how it might impact the Microsoft acquisition of Activision Blizzard. Some of the issues we consider include:
· Is the focus of antitrust enforcement changing from consumers to others?
· What is a Section 2 Sherman Act claim?
· What are structural v. behavioral remedies?
· Have partial divestitures fallen out of favor?
· How might all this play out in the Microsoft acquisition of Activision Blizzard?
· What is the role of compliance going forward?
