JoAnn N. Gerena, CISM, M.A.
Cybersecurity Governance • GRC • Process Transformation
I help organizations transform complex cybersecurity and compliance requirements into scalable governance programs that improve security, streamline operations, and strengthen audit readiness.
How I Approach Security
I have spent more than twenty years helping organizations navigate complex security, compliance, and operational challenges across military, federal, and defense environments. My strength is turning requirements into practical systems—clear documentation, repeatable processes, useful tools, and governance structures that people can understand and maintain. I am especially drawn to work involving program development, assessment readiness, process improvement, stakeholder collaboration, and responsible uses of AI and automation in cybersecurity.
