Ayoub Fandi positions himself as the definitive architect of the GRC Engineering movement, bridging the gap between traditional compliance and modern technical execution. His content strategy centers on dismantling "legacy primitives"—the inherited, often inefficient habits of past GRC leaders—and replacing them with a sophisticated build-buy-route framework that leverages AI and automation. He is notable for his ability to translate high-level risk orchestration into the language of engineering, moving beyond simple checklists to treat compliance as a scalable product. By intersecting deep technical literacy with organizational psychology, Ayoub provides a roadmap for practitioners to transition from passive auditors to proactive engineers who design intentional, data-driven programs.

The GRC Engineer's Dilemma: The "Vibe-Coding" Trap.
I've been watching GRC leads use Cursor and Claude to build internal tools over the last 3 months. The speed is incredible. What used to take a Jira ticket and 6 months of begging the engineering team now takes a Saturday morning.
But there is a trap hidden in the speed.
The trap is building a "Better Version of a Bad Process."
If your risk assessment process is a qualitative mess of 1-5 scales and "gut feel" heat maps, automating it doesn't make it better. It just makes the mess move faster. You've built a digital version of a paper weight.
The GRC Engineer doesn't start with the code. They start with the primitive.
→ Is this process actually reducing risk or just satisfying an auditor?
→ If I had to explain this logic to a machine, would it make sense?
→ Are the inputs data-driven or just "vibes"?
The mistake most pros make is falling in love with the "Build." They get the dopamine hit of seeing a working dashboard and forget that the underlying logic is still legacy junk inherited from 2019.
Don't automate your technical debt.
Build the future, not a faster version of the past.
I deep dive into the "Primitive First" framework in this week's newsletter.
