Beyond the Checkbox: Rethinking SOC 2, Cybersecurity, and Third-Party Risk in 2025

Written by HITRUST | Jul 18, 2025 2:24:34 PM
Is your SOC 2 report giving you real protection — or just helping you check a box?
 
In a world where compliance is often mistaken for security, it’s time to ask the hard questions.
 
Join ITSPmagazine’s Sean Martin as he moderates a direct, insightful conversation with cybersecurity leaders:
  • Demetrios “Laz” Lazarikos – Co‑Founder, Riskology: Deep expertise in vendor risk programs and pragmatic compliance frameworks.
  • AJ Yawn – Cloud Security & Compliance Practitioner: Skilled in SOC 2 implementation, advisory, and translating audit requirements into real security.
  • Ryan Patrick – VP of Adoption, HITRUST: Leading adoption of HITRUST CSF, helping organizations transition from baseline compliance to mature, risk‑aligned programs.
Together, they will challenge the status quo and explore:
  • Why SOC 2 has become a commodity—and why that’s a growing concern
  • How checkbox compliance can create a dangerous illusion of security
  • What stakeholders and customers truly want to see as proof of trust
  • How to shift from minimum requirements to meaningful, defensible assurance
If you’re responsible for security, compliance, or third-party risk, this conversation will challenge your perspective—and help you rethink what matters most.
