Miguel Clarke

Mike is a talented GRC leader who made it very easy for to connect with customers. This is significant because the conversations around cybersecurity have been largely focused on security tools and compliance. Working with Mike we could focus on how a company's capabilities influenced their risk posture. I got to see him serve in a virtual CISO role with customers and witnessed the positive impact he made. Regardless of if your Governance, Risk and Compliance needs are strategic or tactical, I can recommend Mike Annand with no hesitation.

Evan Powell

Mike is great to work with and we had many meetings together where he advised customers on frameworks (PCI, HITRUST, NIST, ISO27001) and regulatory issues with (HIPAA, GDPR). He built trust and formed strong relationships both internally and externally and I would recommend him as he would be an important asset to any organization.
