Ekow Appiah-Ofori

I am a senior IT security and HIPAA analyst with extensive experience assessing security controls, conducting risk analyses, and ensuring regulatory compliance within healthcare environments.

I have developed monitoring methods, security compliance processes, and remediation plans for applications, systems, networks, and third-party/cloud providers, aligning efforts with NIST and HIPAA frameworks.

At Kaiser Permanente I performed vendor assessments, IT controls risk assessments, and authored HIPAA compliance reports and corrective action plans; previously I led assessments and privacy program work at Target and in healthcare settings.

I bring strong technical writing, RMF knowledge, and practical experience delivering security authorization reviews, assurance documentation, and stakeholder guidance to reduce risk and improve organizational security posture.
