Hi GRC Friends - Just a friendly reminder that we won't be holding a December GRC meeting as scheduled tomorrow, December 19, and instead will reconvene in January. We also expect to update (replace) the calendar invite in the coming weeks since none of the current co-chairs have the ability to edit ...

Hi Joe (and unnamed institution) - our answer is yes, they do have such access, and yes, it is explicitly called out in policy. I'm told this is fairly standard if your institution aligns with the Institute of Internal Auditors, but of course not everyone follows that. Policy link: https://www.alask ...

I believe technically ...

Yubico keys work great but aren't necessarily the most cost effective (the Security Key NFC is very low cost ...

A QuickTalk would be really informative. We just wrapped up our FY22 renewal earlier this month (I think our experience largely mirrored what others here faced) and I've already received a list of FY23 expected requirements from my broker.
