Kortney Nordrum-Social Media and Compliance

Great Women in Compliance

Welcome to the Great Women in Compliance Podcast, co-hosted by Lisa Fine and Mary Shirley.

One of the things about social media is that it is always changing and always a challenge for us to address in ethics and compliance. Today, Lisa is speaking with Kortney Nordrum, VP, Regulatory Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer at Deluxe. Kortney has been a thought leader in this area through many changes, or as Lisa thinks of it, "from Facebook to TikTok."

In this wide-ranging discussion, Kortney provides insight on how to develop effective policies to address the use of social media, particularly if there are inappropriate statements. She talks about the importance of constantly adapting to changes, and how we can use social media in our field. She also shares her views about ephemeral communications like WhatsApp and WeChat, and how to address the concerns that they raise.

These days, no conversation about social media and compliance would not be complete without a discussion of Twitter. Kortney gives her perspective what has happened since Elon Musk took over as well as Twitter's historic issues with hate speech and incendiary accounts and what we can learn from this as E&C professionals.
