In this episode of The TechTual Talk, HD chats with AJ Yawn and GRC practitioner Abdie Mohamed about the evolving field of Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC). They discuss how GRC roles are shifting to require more technical skills, like cloud and Python & debunk the myth that GRC is non-technical, and highlight the need for portfolios and ongoing learning. AJ also shares insights from his new book on GRC engineering and talks about the future of the profession.
