Security and compliance leader brings more than 25 years of experience building and leading cybersecurity programs

Illumia, a leading provider of technology solutions that power payments, identity, commerce and foodservice operations across higher education, healthcare and corporate campuses, today announced the appointment of Sean Bruton as Chief Information Security Officer (CISO). Bruton brings more than 25 years of experience in cybersecurity and compliance leadership, including experience building compliance technology, leading managed security services, and using AI to modernize security operations.

In the role, Bruton will lead Illumia’s information security strategy and oversee security and compliance programs across the business, working closely with teams across technology, product, legal, compliance, IT and cloud operations. He will report to Taran Lent, Chief Technology Officer (CTO) at Illumia.

"Security is fundamental to the trust our customers place in us. They hand us their mission critical workflows, their data, and the insights that run their institutions, and they're trusting us to carry that responsibility not just today but through the next decade of service innovation." said Lent. "Sean has spent his career thinking about security from the customer’s perspective. He brings a valuable combination of technical depth and customer insight, having built security tools, managed compliance programs through audits, and worked directly with organizations that depend on security services to support their own businesses. That perspective will be valuable as our security program continues to evolve alongside our business and the needs of the institutions we serve."

Prior to joining Illumia, Bruton served as chief technology officer at Zyston, a managed security services provider, where he re-architected the company’s security operations around AI. Bruton also co-founded Complyify, a compliance automation platform supporting PCI, NIST, HIPAA, HITRUST, and SOC 2 programs. The company was later acquired by Zyston. Earlier in his career, he built and delivered managed security and compliance services at NeoSpire and Hosting.com.

"Strong security should give teams and customers confidence to move faster," said Bruton. "That starts with building security into products and decisions early, understanding what customers are being asked to prove, and making those requirements easier to navigate. I’m excited to help Illumia keep security closely connected to how we build, operate, and serve our customers."

Bruton joins Illumia as the company continues to prioritize and strengthen its security and compliance programs across the business, while continuing to expand its AI use to enable their teams to work more effectively.
