Today’s wide-reaching discussion covers such ground as zero-trust security and changes in authentication methods, plus protecting the agreements and contracts at the heart of most organizations today.

We chat to the CIO of DocuSign, Shanthi Iyer, about how her company protects itself and its cloud infrastructure, plus the ways that security policies baked into the DocuSign platform help its users rest safer in the knowledge that their IP (intellectual property) is properly overseen.

Brett Winterford, Regional CISO for APJ, represents long-time DocuSign partner Okta. Brett talks about security methods and current thinking and how different elements of a machine or person’s identity can inform security systems constantly about the ongoing threat levels that any company faces.

There’s plenty to take in and learn from these two industry stalwarts, each with a specific position on the trust that organizations today give, how to stay safe and protect assets, and what role governments can play in guiding all of us.

One of those areas of the modern enterprise that’s crying out for digital transformation has to be agreement management: the process by which organizations can do business together.

The reason why agreements are in need of some technological muscle is down to their number, and the different layers of approval typically required in participating companies. How can the IT function help speed up agreement processes, but do it safely, efficiently and in line with best practice.

We turn to the de facto digital agreement solutions people, DocuSign, for some answers, in the form of Kartik Krishnamurphy. He’s joined in conversation with Patrick Lam of SoftwareOne, and James Cook University’s Vijay Shreenivos: two end-user organizations with very specific requirements.

How can companies generate value from digital transformation rather than just “make things happen on technology”? Our guests on this episode of the Tech Means Business podcast have the answers.

Show Notes for Series 01 Episode 09

What’s the view from the top of a digital-first company? In this episode of the Tech Means Business podcast, we’re joined by Kirsten Wolberg, the CTO of DocuSign, whose stellar career included spells at PayPal and Salesforce.

Having lived and worked through the first dot-com bubble, Kirsten gives us her unique insights into how the technology services that businesses rely on have transitioned over the years, with a customer-first approach now dominant.

And speaking of transitioning, we ask about the steering of DocuSign from its initial position of “the digital signature people” to its current agreement cloud offerings. “Agreement management” sounds very niche, but in fact, businesses’ activities are dominated by agreements & contracts, numbering in their thousands.

Collaborating on agreements in a single space pulls in every business function, from HR to Finance, Operations and back again, and yes, there’s even an eSignature or two involved!

Here’s the DocuSign take:
