Helen Zell

As a Managing Director at Linford & Co. and a former Director of Cybersecurity Compliance, I have extensive experience helping organizations strengthen their security posture. I specialize in SOC 1, SOC 2, HIPAA, and NIST assessments and strive to make the audit process as smooth and unintimidating as possible. If you are looking for someone who is approachable, detail-oriented, and has good technical literacy, I would love to guide you on your audit journey!
