Vensure Employer Solutions said Michael Lockhart will lead cybersecurity strategy, governance and enterprise risk management across the company and its employer services brands.

Vensure Employer Solutions said on Aug. 20, 2026, that it appointed Michael Lockhart as chief information security officer, putting him in charge of cybersecurity strategy, governance and enterprise risk management across the company and its employer services brands.

The company said the hire is intended to strengthen its security capabilities as it continues to grow across global operations. Vensure says it serves more than 161,000 businesses in all 50 states and more than 175 countries and processes over $153 billion in annual payroll.

Vensure describes itself as a provider of HR and HCM technology, managed services and global business process outsourcing. The company is headquartered in Chandler, Arizona.

Lockhart has nearly 30 years of technology and cybersecurity experience, according to the release. Vensure said his background includes leadership roles at Salesforce and a most recent role as CISO for EagleView. The company also said he has guided organizations through mergers and acquisitions and advanced compliance efforts such as SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certifications.

Alex Campos, Vensure’s chief executive officer, said Lockhart’s “combination of technical expertise, strategic leadership, and customer-centric thinking” makes him an addition to the executive team. Campos said the company is growing through innovation, acquisition and global expansion, and that maintaining client trust remains paramount.

Lockhart said security should enable growth, not slow it down. He said businesses face a rapidly changing environment shaped by emerging technologies, artificial intelligence and changing privacy requirements, and that his focus is keeping Vensure prepared for what comes next.

The announcement did not say when Lockhart will begin in the role, and it did not include other changes to Vensure’s leadership team.
