As a Chief Information Security Officer/Chief Security Officer I have been responsible for building and overseeing cybersecurity programs in multiple industries. As a vCISO with Flair Data Systems, I draw on my years of experience to be a trusted advisor and partner to our customers. I bring lessons learned to best prepare organizations to defend systems, applications, and data against a cyberattack or data breach, and help them develop a plan to return to operations as quickly as possible if either were to happen. I believe that every cybersecurity program begins with basic foundational elements of technology, policy, security awareness, strategy, and leadership. My goal is to help raise the security posture of any organization, regardless of size, and lower the risk of financial loss, reputational damage, business disruption, or compromise to customers due to a cyberattack or data breach. Advisory Services include: • Cybersecurity and compliance program gap assessments• Cyber attack and breach risk assessments• Third party risk management• Tabletop exercises both for technical teams and executives/boards• Crisis management communications planning • Executive/Board metrics design and presentations• Security and compliance program design and strategy• Vulnerability Assessments• Security Awareness training • Audit coordination• Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Planning
