uRISQ, which provides small and medium-sized businesses with tools and resources to help manage data privacy and regulatory compliance risk, has appointed Leigh McGuire executive account manager to help expand its partnerships within the commercial security industry.

McGuire brings experience across the security industry, including leadership roles in marketing, communications, membership, business development, customer engagement and strategic partnerships. Her industry background includes work with and alongside the Security Industry Association (SIA), ASIS International and The Monitoring Association (TMA).

In her new role, McGuire will focus on developing relationships with commercial security dealers, integrators and other industry partners. She will also work with those organizations to identify opportunities to incorporate uRISQ privacy, cybersecurity and regulatory compliance solutions into their existing customer relationships.

“Leigh brings something especially valuable to uRISQ as we expand our commitment to the security industry: a deep understanding of this market and a genuine ability to build trusted, long-term relationships,” said Dr. Ross Federgreen, CEO of uRISQ, CSR Privacy Solutions. “Security dealers and integrators already play a critical role in protecting their customers’ people, property and assets. We see a tremendous opportunity to help them extend that trusted relationship into privacy and cybersecurity. Leigh understands these businesses, their customers and the industry, and she is ideally suited to lead that effort for uRISQ.”

McGuire said her experience working with security companies and professionals has given her an appreciation for the role dealers and integrators play as trusted advisors to their customers.

“There is a natural connection between protecting a customer’s physical assets and helping protect their data, privacy and business operations,” McGuire said. “I look forward to reconnecting with longtime colleagues, building new relationships and helping our partners create even greater value for the customers they serve.”
