About Michael Stapleton

Throughout my career in Information Security management, I have led teams of specialists to patch, analyze and assess enterprise-wide security architecture. By identifying vulnerabilities, I mitigate risk, engineer and deploy patch applications, provide reporting and IT network accreditation documentation. I specialize in improving the efficiency of patch delivery, as I did in one project in which I re-engineered the process to reduce application time by 75%, as well as designing a process to streamline the patch disk production process for over 10K disks per month. With a solid background in the U.S. Department of Defense Risk Management Framework, I can provide private corporations the highest level of information security management and compliance. My strategy includes Information Assurance Audit Tools that allow me to identify where remediation is required. I have earned CISSP, SEC+, NET+ and ITIL certifications.

I lead a small team that reviews, and maintains approximately ninety (90+) plus applications to ensure the appropriate Identity, Authentication, and Federated Assurance Levels are assessed for each application. Our team also reviews any new application requests and determine if they require a DIRA. Any new application that requires a DIRA are assessed, and processed through the Executive, Pre-Oversight and Oversight review for final approval of the Digital Identity Acceptance Statement (DIAS).
