How to Build the Foundation for Modern Risk Programs
OneTrust, Wednesday, September 2nd, 2026
OneTrust argues fragmented risk programs create friction and obscure a clear view of risk activity across the business.
OneTrust's Nick Geyer argues that risk teams are being asked to support a business moving faster than traditional risk programs were designed to handle.
AI is the clearest example, creating new opportunities while introducing new risks and accelerating the pace of technology adoption and operational change, with the same pressure showing up across third-party risk, cybersecurity and compliance.
That changes the role of the risk function itself: modern programs need to reduce downside while also enabling the business. The post lays out how to build a connected foundation rather than fragmented programs that generate more work without a clear view of risk activity.
