Episode notes
Beach Rescue Sparked Cyber Triage Idea
- Rois ni Thuama found an unconscious woman on a beach and used first-aid training to triage and call emergency services.
- That experience inspired her to build Rapid-T, a cyber-risk triage framework for boards and executives.
Make Cyber Risk Legally Defensible
- Rapid-T aligns cyber-risk assessment with legal obligations so boards can show defensible decision-making.
- Rois argues this 'everyday muscle memory' reduces regulatory and litigation risk after incidents.
Embed A Repeatable Triage In Governance
- Do embed a simple, repeatable cyber-risk framework into board routines so crisis decisions mirror day-to-day practice.
- Use artefacts from everyday governance to demonstrate reasonable care if regulators or litigants challenge you.
