Recently, we caught up with Frank Kyazze, Privacy Director here at Kintent, to chat about his experience at the Data Connectors conference in Dallas last month.

What is a Trust Champion? A Trust Champion is the person who helps their organization measure and meet their internal compliance obligations. Their actions support revenue-generating activities, protect their organization from legal and contractual liabilities, and enable the organization to confidently and transparently showcase an intentional, robust, and differentiated culture of trust. Beth White – Founder & CEO – has been greatly involved with MeBeBot’s compliance procedure.

Since working on a spreadsheet, you and your team have come a long way. You’re enjoying the ease of working in TrustOps because it automates control mapping, test creation, and evidence workflows.

Collecting evidence to validate compliance controls takes time and affects your team’s productivity, including HR, IT, and DevOps.

Becoming ISO 9001 compliant can be difficult. It requires those who are seeking it to be open to change, and to be able to commit to their new Quality Management System (QMS) processes and controls. Additionally, having to continuously stay compliant with the QMS can add a lot of pressure. But… the payoff is worth it.

Keeping your sales and security teams in sync on the progress of security questionnaires can be painful. Frustration due to lack of transparency can occur, which tends to add friction to the sales process. This is because answering a security questionnaire and going through security reviews is a team sport, and sales people always want to know the latest status.
