In this episode of the ITSM Practice Podcast, Luigi Ferri challenges the illusion of security frameworks and compliance culture. Exploring the Secure Controls Framework (SCF), ISO, NIST and ITIL 5, he exposes governance immaturity, framework sprawl and risk misalignment. A sharp reflection on cybersecurity governance, enterprise risk management and why compliance without thinking weakens leadership.
In this episode, we answer to: Is compliance replacing real risk-based security governance? Why do organizations accumulate ISO, NIST and SCF instead of clarifying risk ownership? How does ITIL 5 transform control frameworks into accountable governance?

How can an MSP grow revenue without growing headcount at the same rate? In this episode of The ITSM Practice Podcast, Luigi Ferri explores how MSPs can protect margins through a scalable Target Operating Model, standardization, automation, AI, knowledge management, self-service, suppliers, and Professional Services.
What happens when a cyber-physical threat crosses Cybersecurity, Physical Security, Facilities and IT Operations? This episode explores how SOC teams can correlate signals, establish incident ownership, define escalation thresholds and build a unified operating model to protect critical infrastructure and business services.
Does your SOC really protect the entire business, or does its visibility stop at the firewall? In this episode of The ITSM Practice Podcast, Luigi Ferri explores drone threats against data centers and what they reveal about gaps between Cybersecurity, Physical Security, Facilities, IT Operations and Business Continuity. Discover why CISOs need to rethink the traditional cyber attack surface and focus on protecting the complete service.
AI that summarizes an incident is one thing. AI that disables accounts, isolates endpoints and blocks connections is another. In this episode of The ITSM Practice Podcast, Luigi Ferri explains the ITIL 5 6C Model for AI and why CIOs, CISOs and MSPs need to stop asking, “Are we using AI?” and start asking, “What are we allowing AI to do?”
A critical vulnerability is not automatically a critical business risk. If your CMDB only tells you which server is affected but not the customer, service, contract, SLA, or revenue behind it, you are missing the information that matters. This episode explains why CISOs need a business-aware CMDB to connect technical risk with real business impact.
