It's our last episode for the season, and we are joined by a very good friend of Claire's and of the podcast, Samm MacLeod. Samm and Claire discuss what's been happening since we caught up with her 12 months ago in season eight, when Samm generously shared her CISO journey through burnout and recent sabbatical. She's now back CISO-ing, and this time they covered digital transformations and security transformations.

Samm MacLeod is an experienced Information Security Executive with experience across multiple industry verticals including tech, financial services, and critical infrastructure. Having led several cybersecurity transformation programs, Samm helps organisations imbed effective security practices through cyber security strategy, security operating models, and risk management frameworks. Samm's experience with boards, audit & risk committees, and executives allows her to bring a unique set of experiences and perspective to the management of technology and cyber risk and the delivery of security best practice. She is currently an appointed Netskope Security Board Advisor and has previously held non-executive positions on a critical infrastructure board (AEMO Cybersecurity Board), securitisation & financial services board (MEPM) and Information Security education and research board (Deakin Executive Board).

They also cover the value of auditing, how compliance can be the foundation stone for startups and his new book, which he is making open source for others to contribute to; and talked about the fact that Assurance Lab is a B Corp, and why that is so important to Paul and his team.

Paul McCarty is a DevSecOps evangelist, and his recent chat with Claire was so great, we had to split it into 2 parts. In part 2 they discuss minimum viable security product, the Software Bill Of Materials (SBOMs) and making governance material consumable for senior audiences, no matter how unsexy policies might be.

Paul is the founder of SecureStack, the world's first DevSecOps Maturity Platform. Paul has been helping organisations build more secure applications for almost 30 years. He's worked for large organisations like NASA, Boeing, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, John Deere, the US military, but he's also worked with several startups going back to the mid nineties.
