In Episode 04 of The Brief with Charles Denyer, Charles calls out one of the most dangerous blind spots in modern organizations: leadership. While technical teams wrestle with frameworks and controls, executives and boards often operate with a dangerously incomplete view of compliance and security. The result? Breaches that were “technically compliant,” risk reports no one understands, and strategies built on paper-thin assumptions.
This episode is a wake-up call for leadership. Charles outlines the five critical questions every board and executive team should be asking — not just to survive audits, but to prevent real-world failures. He breaks down how responsibility must extend beyond the CISO, and why security cannot be siloed within IT. With sharp insights and real-world examples, Charles shows how cultural and structural shifts at the top can make or break your organization’s risk posture.
If you're an executive, board member, or security leader trying to align compliance with business risk, this is the episode you can’t afford to miss.
Because when leadership is blind, the entire organization is at risk. Listen in, and learn how to lead with clarity, accountability, and action. Subscribe now and start changing the way your board talks about compliance.
