Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolSuraj Ghimire is a Chief Security Officer and CISSP-certified security leader with 10 years of IT experience spanning GRC, cloud security, and healthcare compliance across the US and UK. He has led HiTrust, SOC 2 Type 2, SOC 1, and HIPAA programs, working directly with CIOs/CISOs to author policies, run audits, manage CAPs, and drive operational excellence in cloud and hybrid environments. Adept at aligning security with business strategy, he blends hands-on risk management, incident response, and security awareness with process improvement and stakeholder orchestration. Before his CISO role he progressed through compliance and project roles at Deerwalk and Cedar Gate, giving him deep practical experience in healthcare data, BCP/DR, and technical testing (SAST/DAST/SCA). Unusually for a compliance leader, he remains an active developer and open-source contributor—adding multi-language syntax highlighting and CI fixes to the popular Lapce Rust code editor—bringing technical credibility to governance decisions. Based in Nepal and UK-educated (First Class BSc Hons, University of Greenwich), he combines international healthcare domain knowledge with pragmatic engineering instincts.
