Risk Engines and Compliance Nebulas: Charting GRC Futures with Akira Muranaka
In this warp-speed episode of Risk Is Our Business, Captain Michael Rasmussen connects across the comms with Akira Muranaka, GRC/IRM/ESG Technology Manager and global risk assurance veteran, to explore how enterprises can reimagine GRC as a driver of objectives rather than a compliance checkbox.
Akira explains why the future of risk management depends on moving away from ritualistic controls and toward a risk-based approach that enables the business to take the right risks with confidence. Together, they navigate the question every enterprise faces: should GRC run on a single monolithic platform, or is the future an architecture of integrated technologies stitched together to match organizational needs?
The discussion dives into what Akira looks for in GRC tools, the core capabilities that matter most for scalability, resilience, and trust. From there, they scan the horizon: what GRC technology and the risk programs they support will look like in the next five years, as AI, automation, and architecture reshape how enterprises govern uncertainty.
For GRC leaders, technologists, and boards alike, this episode is a star chart to the next era of digital trust, one where GRC isn’t trapped in compliance nebulas but powered by risk engines designed to accelerate the enterprise mission.
