Sometimes compliance seems like a bunch of checkboxes. And it can be. But in today’s episode we’re going to spend some time looking at what all those checkboxes mean, where they came from, and how we as admins might be impacted when our organization starts the process of acting like a grown up. Our guest is Shrav Mehta of Secureframe, who unpacks what all this means to us.
