According to CU*Answers, Patrick Sickels was hired to assist the CUSO in achieving the goal of transparent compliance. Sickels, CISA, JD, is a former attorney and network engineer who brings a wealth of experience in law and information technology security management. He boasts extensive practice in building audit programs and will be partnering with CU*A staff to constantly review ways to advance the CUSO’s already strict security and compliance programs.
