Into the Void

Into the Void

AI is already inside your organization. Your governance program hasn't caught up. The gap between technology capability and control is the most dangerous place in a regulated institution. It's where audit findings live. Where exam questions go unanswered. Where the board and the server room stop speaking the same language. Into the Void is a podcast about closing that gap. Hosted by Mark Vanis, Founder of Void Vanguard. Over a decade building programmatic governance architecture inside financial services, manufacturing, and federal contracting organizations, defended before the Big 4 without material findings. One episode. One concept. One mechanism you can actually use. For Boards, CISOs, CROs, compliance leaders, and executives at regulated mid-market organizations who are done with frameworks that get filed away and forgotten. Subscribe wherever you listen.

- Why policy is not evidence, framework is not population, and a committee is not exception   documentation - Gap 1 — Population integr...

Most organizations have policies. Most of them have teams and tools. Even still, they can't prove their governance program actually works... not to an examiner, not to a board, and honestly, not to themselves.

That's the void, and it's what this show is about.

In this inaugural episode Mark Vanis, the founder of Void Vanguard and former Director of Information Security at a $3.5B regulated financial institution, lays out the operat...
