Timothy C. Hinson, CISA is a Vice President and Senior Manager on the Technology Compliance & Risk Management team at a Baltimore-based asset management firm. He joined the firm in September 2017 as a Senior Analyst, where he supported the launch of the firm’s SOC 2 audit program by designing and implementing a robust pre-audit internal testing strategy for in-scope controls and applications. Over the years, Timothy has expanded his leadership responsibilities significantly, taking on the role of firmwide SOC 2 program manager and later guiding multiple large-scale audit initiatives, including SOC 1, SOC 2, and external penetration testing programs.

In his current role, Timothy leads a matrixed team that balances the competing demands of multiple senior stakeholders and external audit partners, ensuring timely, efficient delivery of audit support and risk management services. He has driven critical governance improvements, such as unifying the firm’s audit support model and coordinating cross-organizational technology transitions tied to major strategic outsourcing partnerships. His work advising senior leadership on vendor agreements, internal controls, and compliance impacts have identified cost savings opportunities and strengthened relationships with key business partners.

Previously, Timothy worked for Ernst & Young in the Baltimore, MD and Raleigh, NC offices, serving SOX, SOC 1, SOC 2, and advisory clients across a variety of industries, including mining and aggregates, manufacturing, clinical research, telecommunications, healthcare, and financial technology. Before professional services, he gained valuable experience in hospitality and accounting roles in Wilmington, NC.

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

Timothy has eleven years of professional experience with technology risk and internal controls. His experience began 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.
