## Resource

In this episode of GRC Uncensored , Richa, founder and CEO of Complyance , joins the hosts to unpack the growing tension between scalable compliance tooling and the real needs of maturing GRC teams. The conversation examines why SOC 2 in a box solutions fall short for mid-market organizations and what it truly means to integrate AI without compromising privacy. Along the way, the group debates the future of entry-level roles, the role of trust in automation, and whether AI is truly replacing, or simply reshaping, the GRC profession.
