ABOUT JESSE NORD

I am a seasoned Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) leader with a proven track record of building, maturing, and scaling information security programs that align with business growth and regulatory demands. With expertise across ISO 27001:2022, NIST, ADHICS, and Secure Controls Framework (SCF), I specialize in designing control frameworks, leading risk councils, and embedding security governance into the fabric of organizations.Over the course of my career, I have guided companies through critical growth stages—most notably by maturing information security practices to support an IPO readiness journey at a rapidly scaling medical device firm. My approach blends technical insight with executive-level communication, ensuring that stakeholders—from boards and CIOs to auditors and regulators—have the confidence and clarity they need.Currently serving as a Lead in Governance, Risk, and Compliance, I drive initiatives that strengthen risk management, streamline compliance operations, and foster a culture of accountability. I thrive on solving complex challenges, translating security standards into practical, business-aligned solutions, and building teams that operate with both precision and purpose.Beyond frameworks and audits, I see GRC as a business enabler: a discipline that not only mitigates risks but also unlocks trust, accelerates growth, and opens new markets.
