Audit Committees are increasingly challenging GRC, IT, and security leaders to demonstrate how they are strengthening the organization’s cybersecurity posture, managing cyber risk, and measuring progress over time. While SOX and Internal Audit programs provide assurance over financial reporting and selected controls, they were never designed to provide comprehensive assurance over cyber risk. However, organizations can leverage the discipline, structure, and governance principles embedded in these programs to build a cybersecurity control environment that is tangible, measurable, and aligned with the organization's broader Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) strategy. By integrating cybersecurity into the ERM framework, organizations can better understand, prioritize, and mitigate cyber risks while strengthening overall business resilience and strategic decision-making.
Why Attend?
This session will show you how to use AI-enabled tools to rapidly establish a cybersecurity control framework aligned to recognized standards such as the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) or CIS Critical Security Controls. You'll learn how to embed cybersecurity controls within your ERM program, creating a common language for risk management across the organization. Participants will leave with actionable strategies to translate these frameworks into practical maturity roadmaps, prioritize the highest-value control activities, and define measurable outcomes that resonate with executives, Audit Committees, and risk oversight bodies.
What You'll Learn
• How to align cybersecurity frameworks with Enterprise Risk Management objectives and enterprise risk appetite
• How to pinpoint overlaps between cybersecurity controls and existing ICFR, SOX, Internal Audit, and risk management programs
• Ways to reduce duplicate testing, streamline evidence collection, and improve monitoring through AI automation
• Steps to minimize audit fatigue while optimizing resources, increasing transparency, and enhancing risk reporting
Session Highlights
• Build a "SOX-Y" approach to cyber governance that integrates with ERM and strengthens the organization's overall risk strategy
• Discover how AI can simplify redundant tests, and accelerate control maturity assessments
• Learn how to create risk-based cybersecurity roadmaps that demonstrate measurable progress to stakeholders
• Take home practical strategies to improve governance, increase assurance, and support a more resilient, risk-aware organization
