As the DMI CISO/DPO, I was the company’s thought leader in information security. I established the information security strategy for DMI and Chaired the Company’s Risk Management Committee (RMC). Directed the implementation and monitoring of information security standards and policies to ensure DMI was compliant with NIST 800-171 (DFARS) policy, led SOC2 certification for projects supporting the State of Maryland, as well as implemented GDPR compliance for international operations. I provided information security guidance to the executive leadership and the Corporate Audit Committee by recommending information security investments which mitigate risks, strengthen managed services and cloud-based defenses, and reduced vulnerabilities for enterprise application development and systems engineering solutions for both internal and client facing systems and products. I implemented the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) to guide the information security priorities for the disparate business units to not only protect DMI Corporate infrastructure, but customer operational systems as well.I deployed enterprise continuous monitoring cloud-based security-as-a-service (CSOC) for 2,500 users across 14 physical locations including DMI international offices in India, Spain, and the UK. This risk management initiative helped meet DMI’s Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) mandates for Federal and Commercial obligations for ethical ecommerce transactions.
