Sevco Security, the cloud-native CAASM platform that delivers the industry’s most accurate, continuously updated IT asset inventory, today announced the appointment of Chris Strand as the company’s first Global General Manager of Compliance. In his role, Strand will work closely with Sevco customers to help accelerate their journey toward continuous security and compliance.
Strand brings more than 25 years of technical, security and compliance experience, including nearly a decade as the Head Compliance Security Strategist at Carbon Black, where he built and led the Global Cyber-Compliance office, a critical pillar to Carbon Black’s business.
“Organizations in highly regulated industries are struggling with the need to create a comprehensive IT asset inventory that accurately reflects the dynamic attack surface in real-time,” said Chris Strand. “Not only does this introduce obvious security concerns, but it’s a compliance nightmare, as this is a baseline requirement for nearly every security and privacy compliance framework. The Sevco 4D Asset Intelligence Platform is a powerful tool that can help compliance teams wrap their hands around this foundational compliance requirement. I look forward to working with Sevco’s leadership team to help customers accelerate their journey toward continuous compliance using the industry’s most accurate CAASM platform.”
In his role, Strand will drive initiatives to enable customers to use the Sevco platform for their compliance programs and cybersecurity mandates, including PCI DSS, NIST CSF, and GDPR. Sevco’s 4D Asset Intelligence Platform delivers powerful capabilities that enable customers to automate and accelerate security mandates and compliance, including:
- Complete asset telemetry enabling organizations to assess alignment for the PCI DSS 4.0 framework across the enterprise;
- Automated PCI inventory generation, enabling organizations to conduct proactive, low-touch inventory of PCI systems to identify gaps and vulnerabilities;
- The ability to identify gaps in anti-malware solutions and other configurations by integrating with enterprise solutions;
- Complete vulnerability threat analysis from identified gaps in real-time;
- The proactive isolation of real gaps against the frequency of vulnerability scans in real-time and prioritization of critical faults;
- The enforcement of policy and due diligence across the entire PCI scope while accelerating assessment testing under audit
“Sevco’s 4D Asset Intelligence Platform is already helping customers streamline processes and reduce security risk exposure, making it a tremendous asset for organizations to facilitate compliance with regulatory compliance frameworks,” said JJ Guy, founder and CEO of Sevco Security. “Chris Strand eats, sleeps and breathes compliance, and we are thrilled to have him join the team to help us ensure that the platform aligns seamlessly with the major compliance frameworks that keep our customers up at night.”
