William White, Chief Technology Officer at Ultimate Risk Services and ACS of Norristown, PA recently passed the rigorous testing and endorsement process to become a Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP).
Bill is now among a small and highly respected group of IT professionals who have earned the CISSP designation. The CISSP is an independent information security certification granted by the International Information System Security Certification Consortium, also known as (ISC)². The (ISC)² describes the certification as “an objective measure of excellence” and “the most globally recognized standard of achievement in the industry.” The CISSP was the first information security credential to meet the strict conditions of ISO/IEC Standard 17024.
“This certification was a big win for us, and for our customers. It proves that URS/ACS now has the subject matter experts necessary for managing all types of risk- from workplace safety to cybersecurity. It also shows our dedication to protecting our customers.”, says Robert Pignataro, CEO.
Bill will put his CISSP designation to use by helping small businesses address their compliance issues (such as PCI, HIPAA and DFARS/FARS), obtain Cyber Liability Insurance, protect their brand and reputation, and incorporate a strong Cybersecurity Program into their corporate culture and strategic plan.
Bill joined the URS/ACS team in 2012. He has 20+ years in the information technology industry. In 2009, Bill founded ProtevSolutions, a vCIO and vCTO services firm, to address the unique challenges small businesses face in a 24×7, online economy. He is a Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP), an elite network of professionals recognized around the world. Currently he focuses his time on Cybersecurity, IT Governance, Risk Management and Strategic Planning. Bill is a former Microsoft Certified Trainer (MCT), Microsoft Certified Database Administrator (MCDBA) and Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE). He is our SME and practice lead for our Cybersecurity offering. He drives the technical design and architecture and has been instrumental in building the partner relationships that form the core of URS’ cyber initiative.
