Eight pillars, one network

Each pillar brings together practitioners from every line of defence. Choose a pillar to see its sub-themes, regulatory watch, events and contributors.
Boards, committees and accountability: how organisations are directed and held to account.
From enterprise risk frameworks to operational resilience, scenario analysis and risk culture.
Control frameworks, testing and evidence — including board declarations on control effectiveness.
Regulatory change, financial crime, ethics and speak-up, and the culture that makes compliance work.

ESG

Sustainability reporting and assurance, due diligence, climate risk and controls over ESG data.
Cyber risk governance, security frameworks, incident reporting and resilience.
Privacy programmes, impact assessments, international transfers and privacy in AI.
AI risk, controls and assurance, model governance and the regulation now shaping AI.

How the pillars work

Pillars are practitioner-led. They turn expertise into content, events and mentoring.

Pillar leads

Experienced practitioners who set each pillar’s agenda, convene contributors and review content.

Working groups

Members who explore a sub-theme together and publish practical guidance for the network.

Regulatory watch

Each pillar tracks developments in Europe, the GCC and globally, and shares what they mean in practice.

Lead or contribute to an expert pillar.

We invite women working across Governance, Risk, Internal Control, Compliance and related disciplines to express their interest in joining Ladies in Control and contributing to its development.
