Raj Raghavan
Partner, Security & Compliance Services | RAAS
Aprio Advisory Group, LLC
I advise clients in the defense industry, contractors serving the DoD, and companies selling to the federal government on cloud security, cybersecurity compliance, and payments.
Who I work with
I work with clients in the defense industry, contractors serving the DoD, and companies selling to the federal government. I focus on cloud security, cybersecurity compliance, and payments, making complex technical terms understandable for clients.
My specialty
I have built my career around my connections and relationships and enjoy taking complex technical problems and translating them into language anyone can understand using stories. I specialize in compliance and regulations like CMMC and FedRAMP. My unique approach incorporates automation with a human touch on the ServiceNow and Microsoft Azure platforms.
Results I have delivered
I have played a pivotal role in helping enterprises of all sizes incorporate cybersecurity as part of their corporate strategy to gain customer trust while increasing revenue. My approach is to partner with clients to educate them on the cyberthreats that are relevant to their business and view cybersecurity as an investment rather than an IT cost. I have also helped veterans find a second career in cybersecurity, which now has expanded as a part of the DoD Skillbridge program.
Unique things about me
My inquisitive nature and love of learning drive my passion for exploring new cultures and hiking in culturally rich areas. I have traveled to over 30 countries so far.
When I am not at work
When I’m not at work, I enjoy traveling, exploring, and hiking. My inquisitive nature leads me to try new things and connect with people.
