Two Days of Knowledge Exchange and Industry Engagement

Across both days of the conference, the QRC team engaged with cybersecurity, IT audit, governance, risk, privacy and compliance professionals from the Philippines and the wider region. The conversations reflected a growing need among organizations to move beyond fragmented compliance activities and develop integrated approaches to security, privacy, risk and assurance. Discussions also highlighted the importance of aligning regulatory requirements with business priorities, operational resilience and responsible technology adoption.
