Kind of. I think Compliance and Security officers have historically been considered an inward facing role.

The Trust officer is an outward-facing role.

Basically. But the issue is, in a lot of enterprises, the decisionmakers won't chat with anyone who doesn't have an exec title.

Thats what i was thinking. The lack of regulations limits opportunity because customers are scared of getting screwed, so the companies have to make their own rule to comply with, after assessing what safety customers want

The corpos yearn for regulations

This could be something to watch out for.

Always look at who is requesting more regulation. Make sure they’re doing it for the right reasons and not simply to build moats that small companies can no longer cross. It can be a form of regulatory capture to propose the regulations in the first place.

Or like a Chief Risk Officer, but with extra customer facing responsibilities
