Description

Kristy Grant-Hart is Vice President for Compliance Services at Diligent, advising organizations on how to build effective, modern compliance programs in an era of rapid regulatory change. In this episode, Kristy shares a compliance expert’s view on AI, cyber risk and governance for public-facing boards — from school districts and education boards to municipalities and local councils. We explore the core responsibilities of public sector boards today: staying on top of current and upcoming regulation, keeping risk assessments up to date, and tailoring regulatory requirements to the size, structure and context of each organization. Kristy explains why “application” of a rule often matters more than the rule itself and how boards can balance rising expectations for transparency and accountability with the realities of politics, elections and competing community opinions. We also discuss what it takes to build a proactive compliance culture, including understanding skills gaps on the board, bringing in external experts on topics like cyber and AI, and making smart use of associations and umbrella bodies for guidance and training. And we also speak about operational and organizational resilience, looking at how reputation, school and community ratings, and regulatory scrutiny intersect — and why boards should be using tabletop exercises and crisis simulations to expose vulnerabilities before a privacy breach, ransomware attack or system outage hits. Stay tuned to the end as Kristy shares her advice for leaders on future‑proofing their organizations amid regulatory uncertainty.Further resources on regulations for public facing boardsYou can find the guide mentioned on the podcast along with other useful resources at www.diligent.com/leadingwithpurpose.
