About Chris Cope

From the octagon to the boardroom, I bring the same discipline, resilience, and strategic mindset that fueled my success as a UFC fighter into my career in enterprise sales. As an Enterprise ADR at Hyperproof, I help security, risk, and compliance leaders eliminate inefficiencies, reduce risk exposure, and build stronger trust within their organizations.At Hyperproof, I work with CISOs, GRC directors, and InfoSec professionals who are often overwhelmed by manual compliance processes, scattered evidence, and siloed frameworks. I help them discover a better way — a single platform to automate workflows, centralize compliance data, and provide real-time visibility across frameworks like SOC 2, ISO 27001, FedRAMP, and NIST.My goal is to make compliance operations proactive rather than reactive — empowering teams to stay audit-ready year-round, reduce time spent on manual tasks, and focus on strategic risk management instead of administrative busywork.With a competitive spirit and consultative approach, I’m passionate about helping organizations modernize their compliance programs, scale efficiently, and strengthen their security posture.Let’s connect to explore how Hyperproof can help your team streamline compliance and focus on what really matters — driving the business forward with confidence.
