Biography

Glenn Tan serves as CISO at Aona AI, owning the security programme end to end: risk management, controls design, vendor assessments, and incident response readiness. He led Aona through its SOC 2 Type 2 certification, establishing the policies, evidence processes, and continuous monitoring practices that underpin the trust customers place in the platform. That certification matters especially for Aona's enterprise buyers in financial services, healthcare, and legal, where auditors and procurement teams require demonstrated security controls before signing off on AI tooling. Glenn is also CEO and Co-Founder of Zavior, a compliance and cybersecurity company focused on regulations, data protection, governance, PDPA readiness, ISO certifications, and continuous compliance. In 2026, Zavior expanded to Australia with managed services partners and reinforced AI governance work with Aona. His background spans RegTech, compliance innovation, venture-backed SaaS, corporate innovation, and startup advisory. He has worked with professional services firms across legal, accounting, private equity, venture capital, and financial services, and has supported innovation programs involving corporates, government agencies, and startups. At Aona, Glenn works closely with the founders on every security-sensitive product decision: data residency, access controls, encryption in transit and at rest, evidence readiness, and the evolving requirements coming from AI governance, privacy, cybersecurity, and compliance frameworks.
