Bill Deller - AI in Third-Party Risk: SOC2 & What Automation Still Gets Wrong
A vendor has a SOC 2 report. How much confidence should that really give you?
Host Wil Klu talks with Bill Deller, a shareholder at Schneider Downs who helps lead its IT risk advisory practice, about AI and third-party risk management. They explore where AI makes vendor reviews faster, why security questionnaires aren't going away, and why a SOC 2 report isn't the full story. If you manage vendors, lead IT or security, or make business decisions about third-party risk, this conversation will help you ask better questions.
In this episode:
Learn where AI improves vendor due diligence and where it falls short.
Find out why automated answers can frustrate clients.
Understand the difference between a SOC 2 audit and a risk assessment.
Hear why auditor quality and incentives matter.
Examine the costs and benefits of AI-powered risk reviews.

Corey Missimore - AI Privacy: Govern AI Agents Before They Sprawl
AI agents can touch more data, make more decisions, and create more privacy risk than most companies can see.
Host Wil Klu sits down with Corey M., an analyst at the American Institutes for Research with nearly 20 years in security and experience across GRC, privacy, and engineering. They explore AI privacy, shadow AI, data brokers, agentic AI governance, and the growing problem of controlling what AI agents can access and do. For CISOs, privacy and GRC leaders, security teams, and business owners, this conversation offers a practical way to think about AI risk without throwing out the security fundamentals that already work.
Key takeaways:
• Inventory the AI agents already operating in your business
• Treat AI agents as identities with defined access and permissions
• Control what data agents can use and where that data goes
• Keep humans involved when AI makes consequential decisions
• Monitor agent activity and regularly review access
• Build AI governance around accountability, evidence, and basic cyber hygiene

[…] Like if you needed two systems to talk to each other, someone ran out to radio shack and bought a caliber a switch and just plug it in. Yeah. And it's still air gap. Sure. Well, an air gap was always the reason why that was secure, but even then, like it turned out, there was a lot of double nicks and there was all kinds of bad practices happening. So I don't blame it from, and again, so within 2010, with the release of Stuxnet, which was the first ever control system virus, that we know of. That really opened up a lot of people's eyes. That was around the time, a couple years later, we started our industrial networking group to focus on cybersecurity and locking down the plant floor. […]
