From fire-drills to audit-ready with Atlassian
When Cobham Satcom needed to strengthen its cybersecurity compliance posture across US and Danish operations, CISO Lemuel Valdez partnered with Eficode and turned to Jira, Jira Service Management, Confluence, and Rovo to build a unified Atlassian Cloud hub for managing IT and cyber incidents, access reviews, risk registers, audit evidence, and more—eliminating the need for a standalone GRC platform. Join this session for a practical blueprint on turning compliance into a shared organizational capability where evidence is traceable by default, auditors can self-serve, and teams stay audit-ready.
When Cobham Satcom, a provider of satellite and radio communication solutions for regulated industries, set out to strengthen its cybersecurity compliance posture across its US and Danish operations, the team made a strategic choice: build on the tools teams already used rather than introduce another standalone GRC platform. CISO Lemuel Valdez partnered with Efficode to create a cybersecurity, risk, compliance, and audit readiness hub, purpose-built for a lean, high-performing IT and security organization, using Jira, Jira Service Management, Confluence, and Rovo.
In this session, you'll hear how Cobham Satcom uses Jira and Jira Service Management to manage IT and cyber incidents, access reviews, supplier due diligence, procurement and onboarding workflows, risk registers, approvals, and audit evidence; how Confluence serves as a self-service portal for policies, procedures, control mappings, and risk dashboards; and how Rovo helps tag and align policies and procedures against compliance frameworks. Walk away with practical tips for turning compliance into a shared organizational capability, one where evidence is traceable by default, auditors can self-serve, and teams always stay audit-ready.
Speakers
Lemuel Valdez
Chief Information Security Officer, Cobham Satcom
Lemuel is a security and technology leader who enjoys making complex decisions practical and understandable. He begins with an organisation’s reality – its systems, people, constraints and goals – works alongside engineers to choose technology that fits rather than simply follow trends. This pragmatic approach helped accelerate NIS2, ISO27001 and other regulated programmes and certifications. Lemuel champions AI and automation, especially where they remove repetitive work and help people build better things. But he believes adoption must remain safe, transparent, human-centred, with technology supporting people’s judgement rather than replacing it.
