Automating Compliance: How AI Orchestrates Integrity & Culture

Organizations today are caught in a perfect storm of increasing regulatory demands, shifting global requirements, and mounting pressure for real-time assurance. Traditional compliance programs—built on manual processes, static reports, and disconnected workflows—can no longer keep pace. The future of compliance lies in orchestration: intelligently integrating governance, risk management, and compliance (GRC) with automation and AI to deliver continuous monitoring, proactive insights, and business-aligned outcomes.

In this webinar, Michael Rasmussen, the “Father of GRC,” explores how GRC Orchestration and modern technologies transform compliance from a reactive obligation into a strategic capability. We’ll examine how AI augments compliance workflows, enables real-time assurance, and helps organizations stay ahead of evolving regulations. From digital twins and agentic AI to automated controls and continuous monitoring, this session provides a roadmap for embedding compliance into the fabric of business decision-making.
