Security != Compliance...But It Should
Chris Honda
SAINTCON 2025 · Day 3 · Main Track 1
In his SAINTCON presentation, "Security != Compliance...But It Should," Chris Honda, a seasoned professional in risk and compliance at Plotly, tackles a pervasive and often contentious issue within modern organizations: the perceived dichotomy and frequent friction between security and compliance teams. Honda argues that while **security** and **compliance** are distinct disciplines with different immediate objectives, their ultimate goals are inextricably linked and should be collaboratively pursued. He challenges the common notion that achieving compliance automatically equates to being secure and advocates for a fundamental shift in perspective, urging both functions to recognize their shared purpose in enabling business success.
