I’m Jeff Whiteside, and this site serves as a personal platform where I share my perspectives on security leadership, governance, risk management, and compliance.
Over the years, I’ve worked in security roles helping organizations build, scale, and operate security and GRC programs. Through this site, I explore some of the lessons, patterns, and frameworks that I’ve found helpful in the real world — where perfect solutions are rare, tradeoffs are constant, and context always matters.
I write here as a way to stay engaged with the professional community, clarify my own thinking, and contribute to the ongoing conversation around pragmatic, business-aligned security leadership.
This is not a commercial consulting service or a representation of any employer — simply a place to share thoughts and exchange ideas.
Topics I Tend to Explore
- Security Program Design & Leadership
- Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) Frameworks
- Vendor & Third-Party Risk Management
- Incident Response Planning
- Risk Metrics and Reporting
- Security Architecture Tradeoffs
- Balancing Security and Business Priorities
