In this episode, we dive into the fascinating world of compliance and security with special guest Rachael Greaves, co-founder of Castlepoint, a tech company revolutionizing the industry. Rachael shares her journey, starting from her early days at Hitachi Data Systems, where she discovered her passion for storage systems and eventually found her way into the field of audit. Rachael's frustration with the constant shortcomings in compliance and security practices led her to invent a groundbreaking approach utilizing artificial intelligence. Together with co-founder Gavin McKay, she transformed their consulting company into a product company driven by AI technology. They recognized the critical need for advanced technology solutions in meeting compliance obligations, both in government and private entities. Rachael also discusses her experience with a large military project audit, which inspired her to create Castlepoint. Feeling unsatisfied with the outcome, she embarked on a mission to help organizations succeed by offering a comprehensive approach to security and audit services. Castlepoint provides a unique lens, combining policy expertise with technical proficiency to protect assets and ensure compliance with security regulations. Audits, reviews, and risk assessments are just a few of the services they offer to help companies stay secure and compliant. Furthermore, Rachael sheds light on the challenges organizations face in managing data and systems effectively. With the ever-growing volume and speed of data generation, and the multitude of systems in use, finding a solution that balances secure data management without compromising user, system, and network performance is a daunting task. Rachael emphasizes the need for innovative solutions that alleviate the burden on under-resourced governance teams.
