About Lori Kirsch
I’m a Certified People & Human Resources leader with more than two decades of experience helping organizations scale responsibly by strengthening the intersection of people, process, and compliance.My expertise lies in translating complex regulatory, audit, and risk requirements into practical, human-centered HR processes that protect the business while supporting a strong employee experience.I partner closely with senior HR, Legal, Compliance, Security, and Technology leaders to mitigate risk, improve operational efficiency, and ensure audit readiness. I am highly experienced in facilitating enterprise audit processes within HR, including SOC, ISO, SOX, FedRAMP, IRAP, and other regulatory and assurance frameworks—serving as an invested liaison between auditors, control owners, and people operations.My leadership style is collaborative, analytical, and trust-based, helping leaders view compliance as a business enabler, not just a rule book. My work focuses on policy governance, control design, regulatory reporting, and audit-ready documentation that drive clarity, accountability, and scalable growth.Areas of specialization include: • HR compliance & risk mitigation • Policy governance and control design • Internal and external audit facilitation • Global, regional & local regulatory reporting • Strong testing and remediation workflowsI’m deeply passionate about connecting people and processes—building compliance programs that make sense, reinforce trust, and position the employee experience as a core business objective.
