Tech IT Out: IT Governance & Regulatory Compliance

Tech IT Out Podcast: IT Governance: From “Nice to Have” to Non-Negotiable

In this episode of Krome Cast Tech IT Out, we discuss how IT Governance is no longer optional, reviewing its necessity amid rising risk factors and regulatory demands.

In this episode of Krome Cast: Tech IT Out, Sam Mager (Chief Commercial Officer) is joined by CEO Rupert Mills for a strategic fireside discussion on why IT Governance is no longer optional, it’s a condition of doing business. What was once assumed and trusted is now verified and mandated.

With increasing global instability, AI-driven risk, cyber insurance pressures, and expanding regulatory compliance frameworks like GDPR, DORA and NIS2, organisations are being forced to prove, not just promise, that their IT, security, and supply chain controls are robust. In this episode, we cover:

• How IT Governance has gone from “Nice to Have” to Business Critical in 2026
• Where IT Governance originated and how it evolved
• Why certifications like Cyber Essentials and ISO are being scrutinised
• The rise of DORA, NIS2 and sector-specific regulation
• How cyber insurance is driving mandatory supplier verification
• Why supply chain governance is now business critical

Whether you’re a CIO, IT Director, CISO, CFO, or business leader working with regulated industries, this episode will help you understand why IT governance is no longer a technical conversation; it’s a board-level priority.
