Let's talk about digital identity with Bengt Berg, Head of Compliance Management Services at Cybercom. We all know the importance of regulatory compliance in any Identity and Access Management (IAM) scenario. What we don't always know is how to make colleagues engage with compliance, to ensure they sit up, listen and remember to always keep compliance front of mind.

In episode 21, Bengt Berg fills us in on the new alternatives to the dreaded compliance management handbook that sits on the office shelf collecting dust, taking inspiration from the finance industry. Oscar and Berg also cover other key topics such as how to convince the board that IT security is important with easily accessible metrics, specific cases of IT security compliance in IAM and Cybercom's approach to compliance management.
