GRC Architecture

In his piece, Ayoub Fandi dives into the hidden cracks of modern GRC programs, where siloed tools, mismatched taxonomies, and broken information flows leave organizations vulnerable. Drawing on his engineering background and his work leading GitLab’s Security Assurance Automation team, Fandi makes the case for treating GRC like infrastructure, something that needs careful architecture before automation. Through practical insights and a clear-eyed critique of today’s compliance practices, he reframes GRC as a system that can scale with the speed of modern business.
