It’s been an exciting decade, filled with excellent employees, excellent clients, and excellent partners.

Last month I was honored to sit down with Caroline McCaffrey for what appears to be the inaugural episode of her new podcast, the vCISO chronicles. We talked through many things that seem relevant to our anniversary, so it’s timely that it was released this month.

Rather than blogging about it, just head over and give it a listen!

Thanks again, Caroline! We look forward to more!

And here’s to another 10 years for NESP!

Enjoy the recording!

Join us in the New Year on January 9th, 2023 as we spend some time with our friends at Resmo talking about how to get started and speed up the process!

Save your spot!
