Voices of the Vigilant S2 EP6 | GRC Has Layers!

This episode features Monica Reagor, Manager of Information Security Compliance at Crestron Electronics.

"I don't make the money — but I protect your money."

That's Monica cutting through the noise on what GRC professionals actually do. In this episode, Monica brings her signature clarity to the real challenges facing compliance leaders today: articulating ROI to skeptical executives, navigating 200+ regulatory changes daily, and keeping pace with AI, quantum, and a global patchwork of evolving frameworks — all while being the last person invited to the room and the first held accountable when something breaks.

Her path here was anything but conventional — from IT implementation engineer to compliance by accident, from Louisiana to New Jersey, from legal outsider to the person her legal team calls first. Monica is also Chair of the Privacy and Data Security Work Group at NABCRMP and host of the My GRC POV podcast, proof that GRC is a community worth building.
