Timothy C. Hinson, CISA is a Manager on a technology compliance and risk management team with a Baltimore-based asset management firm. He joined the firm in September 2017 as a Senior Analyst supporting the firm’s preparedness program for a SOC 2 audit. He led his team by creating a pre-audit internal testing strategy for in-scope controls and applications. Since joining, he has taken on the role of SOC 2 program manager, becoming the primary resource supporting end-to-end operation of the program, including annual cross-functional confirmation of audit scope and liaising between the external audit firm and the business. In addition to managing the firm’s SOC 2 program, he supports numerous other risk and compliance efforts, which include designing and implementing technology controls, reviewing control design before production deployments, and – more recently – shaping the role of a newly-established relationship management office overseeing the relationship with a key business partner. Recently his role has expanded to include more of a focus on far-reaching, firm-wide strategic initiatives and how they impact the firm’s Technology organization and the design and operation of internal controls.

Previously, Timothy worked for a professional services firm in the Raleigh, NC and Baltimore, MD offices. He served SOX, SOC 1, SOC 2, and advisory clients in a variety of industries including mining & aggregates, manufacturing, clinical research, telecommunications, managed care, and pharmacy.

Before professional services, Timothy worked in hospitality and accounting roles in Wilmington, NC.

Outside of work, Timothy volunteers on a District Committee within the Baltimore Area Council, BSA, and serves as Adviser for Baltimore City’s Chapter of the Order of the Arrow. He is the Treasurer and a member of the vestry of Old St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, where he served on the church’s regathering (COVID advisory) team. Timothy holds a BS in Business Administration (Accounting & Management Information Systems) and a MS in Accountancy from the University of North Carolina Wilmington. He lives in Baltimore, MD with his wife and their cat, Squeaky, and corgi, Pippin.

Timothy has eight years of professional experience with technology risk and internal controls. His experience began with three years in professional services with a multinational “Big 4” public accounting firm.

Timothy’s professional services client base spanned the digital marketing, finance, manufacturing, mining, pharmaceutical, and telecommunication industries throughout the United States. This included external SOX audits, internal audit, and external SOC 1, SOC 2, and SOC 3 audits.
