SUMMARY:ISSA Sacramento Valley Chapter Meeting - 8/21/2026 - AI Governance
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dr. Adeel Shaikh Muhammad\, Adeel Solutions LLC \nTopic: “The AI Governance Gap: Reducing Cyber Risk Without Slowing Innovation” (Slides)  \nSynopsis:  AI is quickly becoming part of everyday business operations\, security workflows\, and decision-making\, but many organizations are still trying to understand how to govern it in a practical way. This session will explain how cybersecurity and risk leaders can approach AI governance without turning it into a slow\, theoretical\, or compliance-only exercise. \nThe talk will cover the real cyber risks introduced by AI adoption\, including shadow AI\, data exposure\, model misuse\, third-party risk\, and overreliance on automation. It will also share practical ways to align AI governance with existing security programs\, SOC operations\, risk management\, and executive reporting. Attendees will leave with clear ideas they can apply immediately to reduce AI-related risk while still supporting innovation and business speed. \nSpeaker Bio: Dr. Adeel Shaikh Muhammad is a cybersecurity consultant\, author\, researcher\, and speaker focused on AI governance\, security operations\, and practical cyber risk reduction. His work focuses on helping organizations adopt AI responsibly while strengthening cybersecurity maturity\, SOC effectiveness\, and board-level risk visibility. \nHe is the author of AI-Driven Transformation of the SOC and SecOps and works across cybersecurity strategy\, governance\, compliance\, and emerging technology risk. Adeel regularly speaks on responsible AI\, AI security\, cyber risk\, and the evolving role of security leaders in an AI-driven world. \nMeeting Details: This will be a hybrid meeting (both in-person and on-line). You may attend remotely via Zoom (see the meeting ID below) or attend in person at Capsity\, 3808 Broadway\, Sacramento CA. Lunch will be provided to in-person attendees. \nPlease register for the meeting below.  \nYou don’t have to be a member of ISSA to attend our meetings (but we encourage you to join us!).

SUMMARY:Cyber Incident Tabletop Exercises
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dmitry Bezrukov — Cybersecurity Consultant and Incident Response Tabletop Exercise Facilitator \nTopic: Cyber Incident Tabletop Exercises. Preparing Your Organization to Respond When It Matters Most. \nSynopsis: Cyber incidents can disrupt business operations\, compromise sensitive data\, and challenge an organization’s ability to make critical decisions under pressure. Having an Incident Response Plan is important\, but having a plan doesn’t necessarily mean an organization is prepared to execute it. \nThis presentation explores how Cyber Incident Tabletop Exercises help organizations evaluate their incident response capabilities in a realistic\, discussion-based environment. We will cover how tabletop exercises work\, who should participate\, how to develop relevant scenarios\, and how to identify gaps in incident response plans\, communication\, decision-making\, and recovery processes. \nAttendees will learn how to turn exercise findings into actionable improvements that strengthen cyber resilience and help their organizations respond more effectively when an incident occurs. \nSpeaker Bio:  Dmitry Bezrukov is a cybersecurity consultant with 19 years of experience in cybersecurity\, cyber risk management\, and incident response. He is the founder of CybersecurityTabletopExercise.com\, where he helps organizations strengthen their preparedness for cyber incidents through practical\, discussion-based tabletop exercises. \nDmitry began his cybersecurity career protecting SaaS web applications used by major Fortune 200 companies. He later founded and led a Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP)\, bringing his former employer on board as his first client and delivering outsourced security services. During his career\, he supported customer security reviews and audits involving major enterprises\, including Amazon\, Apple\, Cisco\, IBM\, Microsoft\, Nike\, and GE. \nHe subsequently served as a Senior Technical Security Advisor at a cyber insurance and cyber risk quantification company\, where he helped clients improve incident response preparedness through tabletop exercises and supported the application of cyber risk quantification to business decision-making. \nToday\, Dmitry focuses on helping mid-sized organizations prepare for\, respond to\, and recover from cyber incidents. He also provides cybersecurity consulting and fractional vCISO services. \nMeeting Details: This will be a hybrid meeting (both in-person and on-line). You may attend remotely via Zoom (see the meeting ID below) or attend in person at Capsity\, 3808 Broadway\, Sacramento CA. Lunch will be provided to in-person attendees. \nPlease register for the meeting below. \nYou don’t have to be a member of ISSA to attend our meetings (but we encourage you to join us!).

SUMMARY:ISSA Sacramento Valley Chapter Meeting – 11/20/2026 – Audit Strategy
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Nelly Spieler\, Partner\, Frank\, Rimerman + Co. \nTopic: “Combined SOC 2 & ISO 27001 Audits” \nSynopsis:  Practical strategies to reduce audit fatigue\, improve efficiency\, and align two of the industry’s most common assurance frameworks. This presentation addresses the critical need for a unified cybersecurity strategy by integrating SOC 2 and ISO 27001. Managing them separately causes inefficiency and heightens cybersecurity risk. The session shows how this integration delivers a stronger\, more defensible security posture. Key Takeaways: \n* Combine the granular security rigor of SOC 2 with the systematic\, continuous improvement of ISO 27001 for true resilience against threats.\n* Learn practical steps for control mapping and unified risk management to eliminate security gaps and policy redundancies.\n* Master the shared audit approach (using dual-proficient auditors and strategic evidence timing) to drastically reduce audit fatigue and resource strain on security teams.\n* Transform compliance from a burden into a cybersecurity asset that meets both rigorous U.S. and global standards. \nSpeaker Bio: Nelly Spieler has nearly 20 years of auditing\, consulting and management experience working with companies worldwide. She currently leads the firm’s Technology Assurance and Risk Management practice which includes all service areas involving Cybersecurity\, Privacy\, System and Organization Controls (SOC). The team is accredited by ANAB to perform ISO/IEC 27001\, 27701\, 27017\, 27018 and ISO 42001 audits\, and frequently delivers integrated audits—either conducting both the ISO and SOC 2 engagements in-house or leading the ISO portion while another firm that is not ISO-accredited performs the SOC 2. Nelly is also an ISO Lead Auditor. Nelly leverages her expertise in cloud security\, information systems and controls into an array of topics in the Governance\, Risk and Compliance field. Nelly works with a range of clients\, including privately held\, pre-IPO\, and public companies. Nelly’s experience includes serving as both an internal and external auditor for her clients. Prior to working in the professional services field\, Nelly worked in both high tech start-ups and large corporations within IT and Engineering departments. \n Meeting Details: This will be a hybrid meeting (both in-person and on-line). You may attend remotely via Zoom (see the meeting ID below) or attend in person at Capsity\, 3808 Broadway\, Sacramento CA. Lunch will be provided to in-person attendees. \nPlease register for the meeting below. \nYou don’t have to be a member of ISSA to attend our meetings (but we encourage you to join us!).
