Tampa, Florida – June 28, 2022 – Cybersecurity and compliance audit firm, A-LIGN, announced today the appointment of John McCracken to the company’s Board of Directors. McCracken’s long history of sales and business leadership in the software industry come at an important time as A-LIGN experiences significant growth in a rapidly transforming market defined by the increasingly tighter integration of SaaS software and audit services. 

“Compliance is one of the most exciting sectors in the cybersecurity market. It’s a critical business requirement, and it’s now at an all-time high from a market awareness perspective,” said McCracken. “Businesses face new cyber-threats every day, so they demand to see how data is protected as reported by a reputable independent auditor. I’m thrilled to be part of a team that has always been a leader in this space and continues to push the industry forward at every turn.”  

“I am delighted to welcome John to our Board of Directors”, said A-LIGN Founder and CEO Scott Price. “His deep experience in the software industry, and his proven track record of helping companies evolve and scale to reach new heights, will be a significant asset for us as we continue on our rapid growth trajectory at this exciting time in the evolving compliance market.”
