Plus, a big reveal: Troy is starting his own CPA firm—Fine Assurance.[00:10:00] The CPA Debate Troy breaks down the CPA backlash in cybersecurity, explaining why the criticism isn’t always fair—and why the problem might be deeper than just the credential.[00:16:00] What Does “Technical” Really Mean? The team explores what it means to be “technical” in security and whether that should be a requirement for auditors or GRC pros.[00:30:00] Kendra’s Take: Use Your Auditor to Scale Security Kendra flips the audit narrative: instead of hiding problems, she embraces audits as an opportunity to advocate for budget and resources.
