Summary
Fernando Machado is a Managing Principal CISO with a decade of experience leading compliance-driven cybersecurity programs from Melbourne, Florida. At Cybersec Investments he directs RMF, NIST SP 800-171, CMMC, and DCSA assessments while building security awareness and practical risk management for clients handling Controlled Unclassified Information. He blends hands-on technical assessment skills with governance and training, turning complex regulatory requirements into auditable, repeatable processes. A University of Phoenix graduate in Information Systems Security (3.8 GPA), he pairs strong academic grounding with real-world defense-industry engagement. Off the beaten path, his GitHub bio’s playful kernel panic hint suggests a pragmatic, developer-friendly approach to security rather than pure policy posturing. Colleagues rely on him to bridge technical controls and organizational behavior to make compliance sustainable.
