About Stephen Ames

As a cyber security executive, I specialize in leadership and management with a focus on GRC, security compliance, security risk assessments, security policy, security auditing, and security framework gap analyses. My top skills are PCI-Everything, ISO SSAE 18 SOC 2 Type II, SP 800-series, and mergers & acquisitions.I’ve written security policies, requests for proposals, statements of work for professional services, and business cases for new technologies.I\'m comfortable in high paced, high stress work environments and I\'m aptly capable of managing multiple projects and juggling priorities as business requirements change. I have a wide range of experience as a hands-on individual contributor and as a leader in diverse cyber security architectures.
