Not many people have heard about the ADKAR MODEL!

The volume and complexity of the data companies collect is increasing exponentially, which creates major challenges for audit professionals.

When we surveyed hundreds of risk professionals, a staggering 72% considered their company to be most vulnerable in cybersecurity. So, it’s no surprise that auditors are frustrated evaluating the effectiveness of cybersecurity programs across industries when their mandate is entirely about assurance.
