Background

About Christopher Day

With over 14 years of experience in cybersecurity, I specialize in leading enterprise-wide governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) programs in dynamic, cloud-first environments. My work focuses on building scalable, standards-based security frameworks (NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5, FedRAMP, etc.) that strengthen organizational resilience—without slowing down innovation. I’ve successfully led multi-million-dollar risk and compliance initiatives, driving measurable outcomes like cost savings, faster compliance cycles, and greater transparency through automation and meaningful KPIs. My approach is grounded in translating complex cybersecurity landscapes into business-aligned solutions that support growth and long-term security. I’m also passionate about mentoring the next generation of cybersecurity talent and building high-performing teams. Whether I’m working with C-level stakeholders, engineers, or external agencies, I believe in fostering collaboration and clear communication to make security a true business enabler. I’m currently exploring new leadership opportunities in cybersecurity, particularly in GRC, cloud security, and enterprise risk strategy. If your organization is looking for someone to lead or mature its security program with a practical, business-aligned approach—I'd love to connect.
