I have over 25 years of cybersecurity experience leading both startups and established companies, corporations and government entities in establishing, maintaining, and enhancing their cybersecurity presence. I have built cybersecurity programs from start to finish by establishing a strong baseline through conducting gap assessments such as the Cybersecurity Capability Maturity Model (C2M2). I then assist companies in aquiring and maintaining certifications and compliance such as SOC 1 and 2, ISO27001, HIPAA HITRUST, CJIS, FedRAMP and StateRAMP, as well as privacy compliance such as GDPR and CCPA. And finally, I build programs to remediate their gaps and operationalize their environment while keeping in mind the need for continual evaluation and improvement. I am dedicated towards providing a solid, well defined pathway towards a highly mature and stable cybersecurity program.
It is critical as bad actors constantly change the attack surface, that I understand the latest trends such as Zero Trust, SASE, and threat models. Through my various certifications such as CISM, PMP, and ISO27001 lead auditor, I can provide comprehensive and indepth solutions to meet the needs of any company, balancing both business needs and security requirements. Please contact me with any questions or if I may be of assistance to you and your company.
