About
I’m Macaire Jackson and I’ve been in technology for what seems to be forever. But technology has its limits and businesses are run by humans. Rules are what enable a business to sustain, address technical risk, and to scale. That is why even though technology is a great enabler of growth, growth without regulation results in an inefficient use of resources and an aggregation of unresolved risks.
As a Head of Information Security with over 10 years of experience, I have led and scaled security teams and programs across various industries and environments, from e-commerce to social services, from on-prem to cloud, and from HIPAA to SOC 2 to PCI. I have helped organizations to align their security and technology strategies with their business objectives and values, while ensuring compliance, resilience, and innovation.
