Her work included GRC implementation through ServiceNow, internal CSIRT development, and security architecture modernization across a complex, multi-site infrastructure.
Earlier in her career, Becky served as Manager of Network Services & Support at HealthPlus of Michigan, where she established the company’s first security and infrastructure program. At a time when HIPAA compliance was emerging, they created critical IT security policies and ensured alignment with both HIPAA and PCI regulations.
