Meet the Team 

As a member of the Integrated Risk and Compliance team within Cisco’s Network Platform Security Organization (NPSO), you will help ensure Cisco’s networking platforms meet the security, compliance, and regulatory expectations of enterprise, government, and regulated customers. The team works across product, engineering, security, legal, privacy, and customer-facing organizations to translate complex compliance obligations into clear, actionable technical outcomes.

The Integrated Risk and Compliance team supports regulatory assessments, control validation, risk assessment, privacy guidance, and continuous compliance across Cisco’s networking portfolio. We explain system architecture, document security controls, coordinate evidence collection, assess regulatory impact, performance privacy along with risk assessment, and drive remediation activities so Cisco solutions can be deployed with confidence in complex and highly scrutinized environments.
