GRC & Me
LogicGate
When Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) issues are in the headlines, it’s usually a bad thing. It’s only when a major data breach happens, or a company runs afoul of some regulation, that these important responsibilities get their time in the limelight. GRC & Me is here to shine a light on those individuals tasked with safeguarding their employers’ information and integrity, day in and day out. Tune in monthly as host Jane Totaro, LogicGate Podcast Host, and her guests explore the issues and ideas that give shape to these interconnected functions. Just as GRC touches many parts of a business, so too will the podcast delve into a wide array of topics, trends and concerns—from current events and modern methodologies to cultural nuances and game-changing developments. Join us and learn why GRC is so critical to the future of any organization, where the industry has been—and where it’s going.

15 Years in Healthcare: Lessons from the CISO Seat
What does it take to build a GRC program that executives and boards actually trust? For Nidhi Luthra, the answer came from more than a decade of doing it the hard way: as CISO across some of healthcare's largest and most complex health systems, and ultimately as Global CISO at Baxter International, where she also became a LogicGate customer. In this episode of GRC & Me, Nidhi shares the career moments that shaped her philosophy on GRC, how her thinking evolved from compliance-first to risk-and-resilience-first, and what she'd tell her earlier self about building programs that hold up under pressure. If you're on the CISO path, or building the GRC function that supports one, this conversation is for you.
