Zach Sims, CISSP's Linkedin Analytics

As a seasoned virtual CISO, I work with organizations to shape security strategies that align with their unique goals and challenges. I’m not just here to “check the compliance box”—I’m here to help solve real business problems by building security programs that make sense at every level. My approach spans everything from targeted risk management and data protection to hands-on incident response efforts and comprehensive security audits, including cloud environments. Over the years, I’ve guided cross-functional teams through vulnerability assessments, penetration testing, and security awareness training, ensuring everyone understands what to do and why it matters. I believe in clear, actionable communication—breaking down complex security issues so executives, IT teams, and stakeholders can make informed decisions quickly. Ultimately, my goal is to craft robust, adaptable security frameworks that blend seamlessly into the organization’s day-to-day operations. By working closely with different parts of the business, I ensure that the solutions we develop are both secure and sustainable. After all, it’s about more than just meeting standards—it’s about protecting what matters most while empowering the business to thrive.
