About Connor Heeren
In an increasing world of AI adoption, what drives me is building real partnerships. I’m passionate about helping Security Leaders tackle compliance challenges with clarity and confidence. A few ways I\'ve helped Security Leaders achieve meaningful compliance outcomes: Partnered with the CEO of a global digital transformation firm to complete their first SOC 2 audit, aligning efforts across SOC 2 and ISO 27001 to reduce audit fatigue and improve efficiency. Guided the CTO of a Healthcare SaaS company through SOC 2 and HIPAA compliance, enabling them to secure a major contract renewal with a leading health system. Supported the CEO of a Managed Service Provider in preparing their client, a grocery chain with 10+ locations and over 8 million annual credit card transactions, for PCI readiness and their first Report on Compliance.I also like to host quarterly roundtables in the Kansas City area for Security Leaders to meet with their peers and have an open discussion about some of the challenges they face on a daily basis.If we aren\'t talking about cybersecurity compliance, you can catch me on a golf course or somewhere exploring mother nature with little to no cell service (only if the Chicago Cubs or Missouri Tigers aren\'t on TV).If you are interested in attending a roundtable discussion or are looking for help with a compliance initiative, reach out.
