AI is already in use across most mid-market organisations, often through tools nobody formally approved. The question that follows is not a technical one. It is who decides what is allowed, on what evidence, and who answers for it.
In this on-demand session, Phil Allas, GRC Consultant at Tecala, explored why security governance, risk and compliance has become harder, more expensive and more scrutinised, and what happens to that picture once AI adoption is added on top.
The discussion moved from the current state of GRC in the Australian market to the specific gaps AI exposes, and the practical actions leaders can take before the next audit, insurance renewal or board question.
If the session raised questions about accountability, evidence or the controls behind AI use, the next step is understanding where your organisation stands today.
