RegScale's New CTO: Devon Goforth

In a significant move for the continuous controls monitoring sector, RegScale, known for its innovative approach to compliance, has recently announced the appointment of Devon Goforth as its new Chief Technology Officer (CTO). His arrival is expected to propel the company's ongoing growth by infusing advanced cybersecurity strategies and engineering excellence into its operations.

Devon Goforth is no novice in the tech world; his career has been marked by a series of noteworthy achievements, particularly in the realms of engineering and cybersecurity. Previously, Goforth held a pivotal role at Google, where he spearheaded the Field Engineering team. This team was primarily focused on incorporating Mandiant's Advantage platform into Google’s security operations. Additionally, Goforth played an instrumental role at Verodin, where he developed one of the first security posture testing platforms, which eventually caught the eye of FireEye, leading to Verodin's acquisition.

At RegScale, Goforth's mission will revolve around scaling the company’s technological offerings. With his deep understanding of the complexities associated with governance, risk, and compliance (GRC), he aims to transform these regulatory requirements from merely reactive responsibilities into robust strategies that deliver substantial value. In this new role, he will take charge of enhancing the company's automation-driven compliance solutions, enabling organizations to leverage GRC for strategic advantages.

Goforth expressed his enthusiasm about joining RegScale, highlighting the company’s commitment to turning compliance into a proactive strategy. “Having encountered the challenges of GRC firsthand, I’m eager to contribute to RegScale's mission to innovate compliance automation. The platform's ability to shift GRC processes from a burden into a breakthrough is exciting, and I look forward to helping meet the evolving demands of our clients,” he stated.

His vision aligns with RegScale's overarching goal of crafting scalable, secure solutions designed to help businesses navigate intricate compliance landscapes effectively. This aligns perfectly with Goforth’s rich history of translating complex challenges into accessible, customer-focused solutions, making him the perfect candidate to lead the charge as the company continues to grow.

Travis Howerton, co-founder and CEO of RegScale, remarked on Goforth’s appointment, stating that Devon's extensive expertise in both technology and innovation positions him as the ideal leader to drive the company forward. This partnership aims not only to boost RegScale’s growth trajectory but also to redefine the compliance automation landscape.

Moreover, RegScale’s success hinges on its continuous controls monitoring (CCM) solutions, which serve various sectors, including large enterprises, financial services, and government bodies. As organizations become increasingly burdened by regulatory requirements, RegScale's platform is designed to help them transition into a more proactive approach. This not only mitigates risk but also enhances overall operational efficiency, helping organizations stay compliant with reduced effort.

Goforth’s leadership is poised to further strengthen RegScale’s capabilities, allowing the firm to offer solutions that reduce compliance costs while promoting innovation. This strategic shift is echoed by the impressive results reported by RegScale's clients: a staggering 90% faster certification process and a 60% reduction in audit preparation efforts.

As RegScale continues to navigate the complexities of the compliance world, Goforth’s wealth of experience will be pivotal in leading the company towards its next chapter of innovation. For further insights regarding Goforth's decision to join RegScale, an in-depth interview can be found here.
