Summary
In this interview, Onspring CISO Nichole Windholz discusses the limitations of automated Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) systems and continuous control monitoring tools. She explains that color-coded dashboards (green-yellow-red) flatten nuance and can hide critical risks. Windholz highlights what gets lost between telemetry and boardroom conversations, how teams should verify the data feeding their tools, and which risks—such as insider behavior and vendor concentration—resist easy measurement. The article provides a critical perspective on over-reliance on automated compliance tools.
