Provisional chapter · Atlanta, Georgia

Atlanta is building the future of GRC

Atlanta is the capital of the South and home to a massive security community. Assure the A connects that energy to a GRC engineering chapter focused on moving from checkbox GRC to engineered systems, together.

Who Atlanta

#AssureTheA

Atlanta's chapter starts with the people who show up.

The 'Assure the A' mission is our shared commitment to strengthen Atlanta's GRC community through practical learning, meaningful relationships, and respect for every person who takes part.

Who belongs here

Our chapter values.

We are building an inclusive community. Bring a connection to Atlanta, curiosity about the work, respect for every member, and a willingness to help others grow. That is enough to get started.

Atlanta connection

You live, work, study, or have a meaningful professional connection to the Atlanta-area community.

GRC + technology curiosity

You are interested in GRC, cybersecurity, privacy, audit, risk, compliance, or the technology that supports them. Experience is not required.

Learn + contribute

You come ready to learn, share knowledge, support others, and help maintain a welcoming professional community.

Respect + repair

You respect every member, engage across differences in good faith, and are willing to work through conflict constructively whenever it arises.

Atlanta chapter participation will always be free. Paid national club membership is separate and is what counts toward the 20 members required for official chapter status.

Leadership

How we lead

Leadership is a team sport.

The Atlanta chapter is built by volunteers who turn community ideas into useful programs, welcoming spaces, and practical opportunities to learn. The Atlanta chapter is starting with a small, intentional group of changemakers who lead by serving, share responsibility, and make room for others to grow.

How to get involved

Own a useful piece of the mission.

We don't need more chiefs. We need people willing to hold a seat so the work has a home, then make everyone else's path lighter.

Secretary

Maintain chapter records, meeting notes, and the follow-through that keeps members informed.

Treasurer

Support responsible budgeting, clear financial records, and accessible chapter activities.

Director of Practitioner Development

Shape practical learning, mentorship, labs, and opportunities that help members grow their craft.

Director of Marketing

Tell the chapter story, and build the sponsor and community connections that create useful access, resources, and a richer member experience.

Tamper-Evident Audit Trails for AI Agents

with Brian Kuan

Brian Kuan will walk through halo-record, a free open-source Python and TypeScript library that turns an agent's actions into a tamper-evident audit trail anyone can verify. He'll demonstrate a real chain from his own agents, 28,000 records since May, including a break he did not stage.
