Kurt Hailstock

As an accomplished GRC Analyst with over five years of experience, I specialize in aligning security strategies with organizational objectives, managing third-party risks, and ensuring regulatory compliance. My expertise in frameworks such as PCI DSS, NIST CSF, and ISO 27001 has enabled me to improve audit outcomes significantly and foster a culture of compliance within organizations. I excel at bridging the gap between technical and business needs, driving risk-aware decision-making that supports overall business goals.

In my current role as a Cybersecurity Manager at Eretmis, Inc., I lead cross-functional teams to integrate PCI DSS standards into broader GRC initiatives, enhancing compliance readiness. My previous experience as a GRC Specialist at Diaspocare allowed me to develop a comprehensive GRC strategy that reduced compliance gaps by 50% in just six months. I am passionate about delivering tailored security training to enhance organizational compliance culture and have a proven track record of managing vendor assessments and ensuring adherence to security policies.
