In episode 47 of Cybersecurity America, host Joshua Nicholson is joined by Richa Kaul, CEO and Founder of Complyance, to explore how agentic AI and intelligent automation are reshaping enterprise Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC).

Richa breaks down why traditional, spreadsheet-driven GRC programs are failing at scale—and how organizations are moving toward real-time risk monitoring, automated evidence collection, and continuous audit readiness. Drawing from her experience as a GRC executive and privacy advocate, she shares how modern GRC teams can reduce manual effort, improve visibility, and position compliance as a true business enabler.

In this conversation, we cover:

Why legacy GRC models can't keep up with today's threat landscape
How AI agents streamline audits and compliance operations
Continuous controls monitoring and real-time risk visibility
Privacy-first approaches to enterprise AI adoption
Third-party risk, regulatory change, and AI governance
What CISOs and GRC leaders should expect heading into 2026

Whether you're a CISO, GRC leader, risk professional, or security executive, this episode offers practical insight into the future of enterprise GRC and AI-driven risk management.
