Compliance, security, privacy, AI risk. There's a lot of noise out there, and not much of it is useful when you're the one having to do the work.
Phishing for Trouble is the business resilience podcast from IO (ISMS.online), the platform thousands of teams use to manage compliance and build resilience day to day. Rebecca Harper and David Holloway talk to the security leaders, specialists and business experts they actually learn from, the kind of guests who give you something to take back to your team on Monday.
Honest, practical, sometimes a bit awkward. Always useful.
Built to Last: How Compliance Enables Business Resilience
Looking back at Phishing For Trouble's second season, we've explored the challenges organisations face as technology, regulation and risk evolve, from supply chain vulnerabilities and AI governance to privacy, operational resilience and what regulators are really looking for.
In this final episode, IO's Rebecca Harper and David Holloway are joined by Rik Ferguson, Vice President of Security Intelligence at Forescout Technologies and founding Special Advisor to Europol's European Cyber Crime Centre. Drawing on decades of experience, Rik reflects on the biggest lessons from the series and what organisations need to do to build resilience in an increasingly complex landscape.
Featuring key moments from guests across the season, Rik shares his perspective on why compliance should be treated as the foundation for growth rather than a tick-box exercise, how organisations can prepare for an AI-driven future, what effective resilience really looks like, and why governance, visibility and culture matter just as much as technology.
If you're wondering what separates organisations that simply react from those that are built to last, this episode brings the whole season together.

Privacy as Power
What happens when privacy stops being a legal issue and starts shaping whether your business can grow?
In this episode of Phishing for Trouble, IO (https://www.isms.online/)’s Rebecca Harper and David Holloway explore why privacy is now a commercial issue, not just a compliance one.
They’re joined by Joe Jones, Director of Research and Insights at the IAPP, and Jennifer Appleton, Managing Director at ISO Quality Services, to discuss how organisations are turning privacy into a source of trust, resilience and competitive advantage.
Hear why businesses are losing deals, slowing procurement and stalling expansion plans because they can’t clearly explain howdata is being used and why frameworks like GDPR and ISO 27701 are becoming essential foundations for growth.
From privacy by design and AI governance to customer trust and cross-border data challenges, this episode explores why the organisations embedding privacy into the way they operate are often the ones moving faster, scaling smarter and building trust that lasts.

What the Regulators Want
Today, regulators don’t just want compliance, they want accountability and resilience.
In this episode of Phishing for Trouble, IO (https://www.isms.online/)’s Rebecca Harper and David Holloway explore how the shift of expectations isn’t just about speed, it’s about demonstrable, baked-in compliance.
Regulators are no longer passive; they’re proactive, prescriptive, and punitive.
They’re joined by Paul Vane (https://jerseyoic.org/team/paul-vane-0), the Information Commissioner for the Jersey Office of the Information Commissioner, a man who has worked in privacy and data protection for over two decades and uniquely equipped to clarify how the relationship between company and regulator should work, and why sometimes it doesn’t.
Hear what you should be planning for, months or years before a breach, how the mindset for crisis readiness needs to be a continuous process rather than a periodic exercise, and how themember of staff best equipped to cope, should the worst happen, often isn’t from the senior leadership team.
The ultimate ambition is to shift the culture from “responded well” to “being able to see it coming”. It’s no longer enough to simply recover in a crisis, the expectations are now to think about future risks and show some evidence of how you mitigated those dangers ahead of time.
