Considering Security, Compliance and Revenue with David Grazer
Notas del episodio
Most companies chase certifications to win deals — but what actually keeps customers is something no audit can measure.
In this episode, vCISO David Grazer makes the case that trust is a measurable economic asset hiding in plain sight: your customer retention rate. Drawing on 15+ years inside high-growth tech companies, David explains why compliance frameworks are customer acquisition tools, not retention strategies — and how the gap between the two is costing businesses more than they realize.
This episode is for founders, security leaders, and C-suite executives who want to connect their security and privacy programs to real business outcomes.
You'll learn:
→ Why a SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certification is only the beginning of earning customer trust
→ How customer churn functions as one of the most honest security metrics available
→ Why MFA and common security controls often fail the users who need them most
→ What "Trust by Design" looks like in product development and AI programs
→ How to translate security risk into language that resonates with your CFO
