Principal, Cybersecurity & AI Governance
Edmond K. Sarpong
Edmond founded Prime Tech Associates to give healthcare organizations, community banks, credit unions, growing businesses and deal teams the kind of security and AI governance guidance usually reserved for large enterprises.
He has more than 12 years of hands-on cybersecurity experience across federal, defense, healthcare, cloud, enterprise and merger-and-acquisition environments, covering security engineering, risk management, compliance, third-party risk and M&A security due diligence and integration. He is a service-disabled U.S. veteran.
His approach is straightforward: find out what is really happening, explain it clearly, fix what matters most first, and leave the client able to run the program themselves.
