Podcast: Compliance Theater and AI Governance on AIBiz

Is your go-to-market strategy "move fast and hope nobody asks about security"?

We get it. You want to ship code, not write policy documents. But as our CEO Shayne Adler explained on this episode of AIBiz, there is a fine line between "agile" and "negligent."

That line usually appears right when you try to sell to a big enterprise client and they hand you a security questionnaire the size of a phone book.

Shayne breaks down how to avoid the "Legal Doom Loop" (which sounds like a terrible amusement park ride) and turn compliance into a competitive advantage.

Here is the cheat sheet for skipping the drama:

  • Audit your third-party tools. If your CRM is training its AI on your customer data, you have a problem.

  • Data retention is key. The less data you hoard, the less you have to disclose during a scary legal hold.

  • Transparency wins deals. Tell customers plainly how you use AI. They appreciate the honesty more than the "corporate theater."

You do not need to hire a full-time CISO to solve this. You just need Aetos to help you build the guardrails so you can drive fast without flying off the cliff.
