BSidesSF 2026 · Day 1 · AMC Theatre 03
In his compelling BSides SF talk, "How to Be a GRC Hero (Without Heroics)," Stas Bojoukha, the Founder and CEO of Comply, dissects the fundamental flaws in traditional Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) practices and presents a visionary path forward. Bojoukha argues that the GRC landscape, once a niche and often overlooked domain, is now at a critical inflection point, driven by rapid technological evolution and escalating regulatory demands. He posits that the prevailing manual, reactive approaches to GRC are not only inefficient but also unsustainable in today's complex, multi-cloud, and vendor-rich environments.

A polished vendor pitch dressed as a practitioner talk. Bojoukha has real GRC scars, which gives the framing credibility, but the entire 'technical deep dive' is a capabilities brochure for Comply with no implementation specifics, no data, and no demo. BSides deserves better than this.
