A SaaS company buys enterprise ChatGPT for 800 staff and strangely only uses 30 seats. A corporate signs annual risk exemptions for five years until the exception list itself is mistaken for a working security process. Same root cause, two symptoms.

Compliance is not security. Security culture is company culture. If your employees do not trust their managers, no policy you write will save you.

Lieuwe Jan Koning, Co-founder and CTO at ON2IT Cybersecurity, sits down with Sina Yazdanmehr, Founder and Managing Director of Aplite GmbH, on why security policy depends on trust, why a signed risk acceptance is a legal act, and what a leadership cadence on security communication actually looks like.
