Welcome to Douglas Zipay’s Professional Hub. In addition to this Home Page, it hosts my Blog “DougWasBuiltNotBorn” and my CyberZolutions LLC homepage.

I’m Douglas Zipay, a seasoned IT and Cybersecurity Professional with over a decade of experience driving complex, high stakes projects across various enterprises.

What I Bring to the Table

  • Technical Expertise: My career began in electronics where I learned theory and how computers worked. That took me into Information Technology (IT), then into Cybersecurity. Over the past 2 -3 years, I’ve worked with Identity Access & Management (IAM), Asset Management, and several cloud initiatives. My CISSP, CISM, CISA, and CEH certifications authenticate my knowledge in this discipline.
  • Project Management: I’ve managed IT, Cybersecurity, and monetary projects since 2014. I’m a PMP and a Scrum Master (PSM).
  • Governance Risk and Compliance (GRC). I have a solid GRC understanding and have the CISA certification to validate it.
  • Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC): I’m pivoting into CMMC and have taken the required training. I’m seeking the CCP certification this year.
  • Security Clearance: I hold an active TS/SCI security clearance.

    • Masters of Business Administration (MBA) – Finance Management
