Gregory Gonzalez, a partner at Wilkinson Barker Knauer Law Firm and former DOJ attorney, in conversation with GRIP’s Vlada Gurvich about national security, compliance, and regulatory risks.

We talked about:

• the impact of national security on compliance officers and the importance of being vigilant about matters that may not be receiving sufficient attention;
• the US DOJ’s final rule on national security risks and how it translates to compliance programs for companies handling sensitive data;
• the process of seeking guidance and comments from the private sector and how compliance officers can work with their organization’s cybersecurity teams to implement effective measures;
• the importance of self-reporting and cooperation with the government in national security-related matters;
• the challenges of managing compliance in the cybersecurity space and the need for creativity in making decisions;
• the role of supply chain risk management in critical infrastructure sectors, such as telecommunications and energy; and
• Gregory Gonzalez’s current role and the key issues he is working on, including compliance programs and national security rules.
