The Dino Price Commentaries
On a recent Price of Business show, Host Kevin Price interviewed Dino Price.
Dino develops and manages Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) programs with rationalized local, state, and federal regulatory requirements such as NIST, ISO, HiTECH, HiTrust, SOC I & II, CMMC, OT SCADA, and Fed RAMP.
The risk and compliance function is no longer a reactive, control-based function. Instead, it is now an integrated part of the enterprise, where executives at all levels are expected to actively build a culture of compliance that permeates the entire organization.
Last week, we discussed opportunities exploited by compliance. This week, we talk about the darker half of compliance, when a company or organization becomes excessively restrictive and abuses the law or rules to an extreme extent that might be described as “bureaucratic” or abusively “legalistic.” In a legal or rule-enforcing context, such an organization could become “authoritarian” or a “despot” as it exerts excessive control or power in an oppressive manner that rigidly applies the law or rules without regard for fairness or context.
Dino develops and manages Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) programs with rationalized local, state, and federal regulatory requirements such as NIST, ISO, HiTECH, HiTrust, SOC, CMMC, OT SCADA, and Fed RAMP. Earning his Compliance Systems Management Certificate from Cornell Law Center and as a certified HiTrust Practitioner, he has led many teams through the daunting task of compliance attestation, routinely producing qualified results with the distinction of passing faultless audits.
His extensive career in governance and compliance began in the Public Health Department of the United States Air Force, USAF, in the late 1990s. There, he conducted compliance audits and examinations worldwide under HIPAA, OSHA, FDA, USDA, EPA, and DOE guidelines in the interest of the Department of Defense and NATO.
As a journalist, writer, and editor for the Oklahoma Small Business News, he covered local and federal government interests and emerging technology, giving him a unique perspective on the impact of governing oversight on thriving and developing businesses.
He graduated Suma Cum Laude from the University of North Texas with a concentration in Cybersecurity and Criminology and is a member of the National Honors Society for Criminal Justice. Currently, Dino is enrolled in the University of Houston’s Master’s Degree program for Cybersecurity.
