Hannah Suarez
CISO
Loyalty Status Co
Hannah is a complete self-starter in the information security industry. Hannah began by establishing a business and opening a small company in Europe to consult in information security in 2016. While many who made that career change might choose to start as an employee, Hannah chose the path of independence. Since that time, Hannah's business has flourished while living throughout Europe and establishing a truly global life and work balance in information security.
In terms of specific specializations, information security has been a firecracker of an industry to be in and while there are some lows, there are many intellectual highs. Hannah has delved into numerous fields:
— Cybersecurity risk specialist in telecommunications and supplier security/third-party risk management
— Implemented ISO 27001 series across multiple industries in entertainment, software and marketing — Application of global data protection management in personal data protection and in specific areas (telecommunications)
— Technical evangelist for an events logging and monitoring software product with knowledge of security events
Currently, Hannah is CISO for a fast-moving scaleup in the niche area of status management, concentrating on attracting high-value customers. This role brings unique challenges, such as collaborating with large corporations like airlines and hotels that have established security programs, all while upholding the rigorous security and data protection standards associated with handling such vast amounts of data.
