Founder's Message
Christian “Chris” Schreiber is a higher education cybersecurity expert with nearly 30 years of experience supporting institutions of all sizes. His prior roles included serving as CISO at the University of Chicago, the University of Arizona, and the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. Chris’s passion for helping higher education institutions strengthen their cybersecurity capabilities led him to create CampusCISO in 2021.
I wanted to help institutions streamline cybersecurity planning, allowing teams to focus on security activities rather than repetitive tasks. I built CampusCISO from the ground up to provide an affordable way for schools to share information, research vendors, get benchmarking data, and simplify how they plan their cybersecurity strategy.
Our Journey
CampusCISO was born out of the recognition that higher education institutions face unique cybersecurity challenges. Traditional consulting services often come with high costs and generic solutions that don’t cater to the specific needs of educational environments. Our goal is to provide affordable, high-value advisory services that are specifically tailored to the unique cybersecurity needs of higher education.
