“Panic is usually the first red flag that a company needs GRC.”
— Joel Seymour
In this episode of “When the IT Hits the Fan”, we sit down with Joel Seymour, Co-founder and Principal, to break down what Governance, Risk, and Compliance really mean -- and why building it in is always better than bolting it on.
Joel shares how his background in auditing, health insurance, and cybersecurity shaped his perspective on trust, maturity, and the myths around “checklist” compliance. From working with the giants to guiding the startups, Joel knows that the right framework builds more than controls -- it builds culture.
🔑 Key Takeaways:
✅ What GRC actually is (and why panic is a red flag)
✅ Why “100% of the bare minimum” is never the goal
✅ How to pick a framework and make it real
✅ Why built-in beats bolt-on, every time
✅ What makes a real partner in business (hint: honesty > hype)
✅ What leaders must remember: stay curious, care about people, and own your words
