About Chad Bairnsfather

At EmployBridge, my leadership in information security propels our mission to mitigate cyber risk, ensuring robust enterprise security. With a focus on implementing comprehensive security programs, I have developed and executed policies, procedures, and technical controls that are integral to our operations. Our team\'s collaboration with senior leadership has been pivotal in strategic planning for cyber risk mitigation and security control implementation.My recent tenure as CISO at Health IQ honed my expertise in aligning security policies with stringent regulatory obligations like HIPAA and PCI-DSS. There, I established critical governance structures which have fortified our corporate security posture. With a steadfast commitment to fostering a culture of security awareness and collaborative risk management, we have significantly advanced our organization\'s resilience to emerging cyber threats.
