Lock Langdon
Chief Information Security Officer (CISO)
Aprio Advisory Group, LLC
Who I work with
I work with all Aprio businesses and clients, partnering with internal and external stakeholders (including clients, vendors, and regulators) to provide guidance and support on cybersecurity best practices, risks, and solutions. My mission is to protect the firm’s data, assets, and reputation, and to empower its people and clients with the tools and knowledge to achieve their goals.
My specialty
I provide guidance and oversight in cybersecurity and risk programs and help Aprio partners ensure proper security processes are in place so clients can fully trust us with their data. I also strive to provide new ideas for marketable solutions for the business. I have built security programs from scratch, pivoted clients from cancelling solutions to reimagining their security programs and reduced operating costs by streamlining global compliance and audit reporting.
Results I have delivered
I have key wins in multiple cybersecurity product segments by successfully leading teams in several industry verticals at Fortune 100 corporations. Through this, I have proven my ability to learn quickly and easily articulate value at every level of a company. I built Aprio’s security program from the ground up, including:
- Creating a Third-Party Risk Program
- Establishing GRC best practices aligned to the NIST RMF
- Completing the first corporate internal security audit
- Overseeing the development of the firm’s corporate privacy program, starting with a DSAR (Data Subject Access Request) process and Cookie Consent
- Growing Aprio’s security team from one engineer to a multi-operational engineering, operations, and compliance team of nine

When I am not at work
I enjoy reading, traveling, and mixing a mean Tiki drink.
People say I am
Collaborative, technical, and an out-of-the-box thinker.
