Episode 9 — Capture stakeholder expectations quickly and convert them into commitments
Building a durable security program requires more than just technical skill; it requires the ability to capture stakeholder needs and secure their long-term commitment.

We explain the importance of the Stakeholder Analysis and how to manage conflicting priorities between departments, such as the tension between marketing’s need for data sharing and legal’s need for data privacy.
