Recently, Lauren assisted a company in a fast-paced effort to prepare for their annual FedRAMP recertification.

She rallied with the team to complete in several months’ worth of work in four weeks, allowing them to successfully complete their recertification.

Lauren has also notable helped guide a large TeleCom company through their initial FedRAMP authorization, as well as immediately following a Significant Change Request. This included several on-sites before and during the audits, meetings, document preparation and review, and training for future maintenance of the authorization.

She commonly assists clients by acting as interim CISO for their organizations while they transition permanent leaders into the role. Lauren makes herself available to a wide variety of a client’s team, across departments, to prevent missing critical deadlines.
