Innovation In Compliance With Tom Fox

Innovation occurs across many areas, and compliance professionals need not only to be ready for it but also to embrace it. Join Tom Fox, the Voice of Compliance, as he visits with top innovative minds, thinkers, and creators in the award-winning Innovation in Compliance podcast. In this episode,  host Tom visits with Jeff Kushner, a compliance and IT security leader at Allgress. Jeff talks about “compliance drift,” where external obligations such as laws, frameworks like NIST/ISO/CIS, customer and licensing requirements, fall out of alignment with internal governance policies, procedures, and contracts, creating silent gaps that surface only during audits or incidents.
