Kenio Shirley is a fractional CTO for regulated platforms who has delivered a FedRAMP Moderate authorization and cut change-approval time by 30% at a HIPAA business associate.

Kenio Shirley is a fractional Chief Technology Officer for regulated platforms and the founder of HireKen.io. He takes cloud companies through the audits that gate their revenue: he has taken a system through FedRAMP Moderate authorization, and over 15 years has led cloud and engineering teams through SOC 2, SOX IT general controls, HITRUST and PCI DSS examinations. His method is a change record that satisfies every framework at once — at a HIPAA business associate it cut change-approval time by 30% with no major incidents. He is based in New Jersey.

Kenio Shirley is a fractional Chief Technology Officer for regulated platforms and the founder of HireKen.io. He takes cloud companies in healthcare, financial services and government technology through the audits that gate their revenue. He has taken a system through FedRAMP Moderate authorization via an Agency ATO, and has led ISM readiness and remediation advisory for organisations selling into Australian government at the OFFICIAL classification level. Over more than 15 years he has led cloud and engineering organisations through SOC 2 CC8.1, SOX IT general controls, NIST 800-53 control families, HITRUST and PCI DSS examinations. His premise is that audit programs fail on the change record rather than the technology, and that a change advisory board is a design problem, not a compliance tax: at a HIPAA business associate he cut change-approval time by 30% while keeping the evidence trail intact and shipping no major incidents. He holds a Master of Science in Information Technology Management from Western Governors University and is based in New Jersey.
