Security Advisor

What Security contributes to Cardinal Health

Security implements measures to safeguard the company's assets from circumstances and threats that would cause harm or loss.

Security ensures the credentialing of visitors, provides surveillance of the company's facilities, enforces regular security standards and procedures, responds to security crises, and manages relationships with security vendors.

The Cardinal Health Global Security team aligns with business goals to proactively mitigate risk, protect key assets, and ensure effective incident response. The Security Advisor is a key component of the Global Security Team and assists the Regional Security Director in identifying risks to the organization and helping to develop programs to mitigate such risks. The Security Advisor is responsible for ensuring programs are implemented consistently and uniformly across his or her area of responsibility.
