Larry W. Harvey -CISSP -CCSP — Security Consultant
I am a CISSP, CCSP-certified Security Advisory Consultant specializing in enterprise incident and crisis readiness for regulated healthcare organizations. I design, execute, and assess incident response programs, executive and technical tabletop exercises, and governance-aligned readiness initiatives for large healthcare systems, working directly with C-suite, legal, compliance, and IT leadership. My work centers on program ownership, not tool operation—translating cyber incidents into operational, regulatory, patient safety, and business impact decisions. I have independently led large-scale executive tabletop exercises (including a single-facilitator engagement with 100+ executives) and conducted formal incident response plan maturity assessments aligned to NIST 800-61 r2 and NIST CSF 2.0, incorporating HIPAA and HITRUST requirements. I currently serve as the primary security advisor for a portfolio of enterprise healthcare clients, leading ongoing executive risk touchpoints covering threat trends, technology stack considerations, escalation pathways, and incident governance. While my background includes hands-on security operations and incident response, my current focus is on governance, risk, and executive-level incident readiness and decision-making, particularly in cloud-enabled and highly regulated environments. I bring nearly two decades of crisis leadership experience from military service (U.S. Army) and emergency services (Fire/EMS Lieutenant, Paramedic), which directly informs my approach to incident governance, communication discipline, and operational readiness. Areas of focus: • Incident & crisis readiness • Security governance and assurance • Executive & technical tabletop exercises • Incident response program design & assessment • Cloud and regulatory risk (healthcare) Currently open to Security Advisory, GRC, Cloud Risk, and Incident Readiness roles where program ownership, executive engagement, and defensible security outcomes matter.
