About Tim Escolopio

I help enterprises secure data, meet regulatory compliance requirements, and improve operational efficiency by combining deep compliance program expertise, the Microsoft 365 E5 security stack, production AI engineering, and disciplined Agile delivery.With 15+ years of multi-industry compliance leadership spanning financial services (FFIEC/NIST), cloud security governance (SOC 2/ISO 27001), and DOT/OSHA/FMCSA domains, I have a track record of reducing organizational risk by 40%+ and strengthening compliance posture by 60%+. I also bring hands-on generative AI experience that goes beyond strategy decks: I have built and shipped production AI systems, authored governance frameworks for enterprise AI adoption, and developed open-source tooling that bridges the gap between AI capability and regulatory control.Most recently at Bank of America (Global Information Security), I designed the enterprise\'s first unified Data Protection Standard compliance risk reporting methodology across applications, integrating data from Venafi, Symantec DLP, Splunk, and multiple internal reporting systems into an automated Alteryx pipeline. I drove iCCR/FFIEC exam readiness from ~15% to audit-ready in six weeks, resulting in zero regulatory findings for the DLP Governance team. At Wells Fargo, I collaborated with executive-level stakeholders to review RBAC across a 200+ application project in Corporate Investment Banking, building VBA automation that cut change management preparation time by ~50%.Earlier, I built a full compliance and cybersecurity program from scratch for a remote-only software startup, architecting SOC 2 and ISO 27001 frameworks, passing HITRUST client-vendor audits, and delivering four AI initiatives including a production LLM+RAG enterprise application I proposed and built solo in 9 months on Azure AI Services. That AI thread continues today: I develop Code Scalpel, a static analysis MCP server with 4,600+ downloads connecting AI assistants to deep code intelligence, and Aegis OS, an open-source governance runtime that embeds compliance enforcement directly into enterprise AI agent workflows. I use generative AI daily in my own engineering practice and understand both its transformative potential and the governance guardrails enterprises need to adopt it responsibly.
