About Jonathan Thompson #
I’m Jonathan Thompson, founder of Thompson InfoSec. With nearly three decades in tech — and half of that focused on security, backed by a master’s degree in Cybersecurity and Information Assurance — I help businesses protect what matters most. My background includes working with cloud-based startups and national nonprofits, giving me a broad perspective on the unique challenges organizations face today.
My approach is simple: I make security relatable. By bridging the gap between IT and business leaders, I help clients understand security risks in a business context, so they can make informed decisions that drive real results. Whether it’s a security assessment, compliance readiness, or serving as your vCISO, my goal is to provide clear, actionable advice that fits your needs.
I hold myself to a high standard: give honest assessments, recommend only what actually moves the needle, and treat every client’s environment like it’s my own.
