Security Governance
& Strategy

Cody Keller, CISSP, CISM  ·  Manager of Security Governance & Operations

I bridge the gap between technical security operations and business risk strategy. With over 10 years driving GRC initiatives, I specialize in building audit-ready security programs and turning compliance into a competitive advantage.

Focus: scalable governance, AI security, and operational resilience.

What I Build & How I Think

Security programs that hold up under auditor scrutiny, close enterprise deals in regulated markets, and give leadership a clear view of risk — without requiring them to be technical.

High-Assurance Compliance Strategy

I direct end-to-end compliance lifecycles for high-assurance frameworks. My approach builds continuous, audit-ready governance models — not point-in-time checkbox exercises.

Enterprise AI Governance

Innovation requires guardrails. I lead the safe adoption of Generative AI by establishing Acceptable Use Policies and AI Risk Assessment frameworks — balancing speed with data privacy and IP protection.

Operational Risk & Resilience

From Third-Party Risk Management to Incident Response, I build systems that quantify risk for leadership. Security operations as a business enabler — accelerating sales velocity, not slowing it down.
